What happens when one planet orbits another, which itself is orbiting a star? The result is mesmerizing mathematical curves called epicycloids.
This interactive tool visualizes these "planetary orbital patterns" - imagine a small planet (red dot) orbiting a larger planet (orange dot), which orbits a central star. The red planet traces out intricate mandala-like patterns, creating different shapes based on the ratio of orbital speeds.
