this is animated, the PoeticPiet found the link (might help the visualization bits):

I'm wondering if the jupiter resonance of the hilda asteroid family (was it?), causing them to seem to be traveling in a triangle, seeing which caused me to exclaim they 'rocks' is within the same order of illusion that makes planets trace paths that we call retrograde but is just a matter of relative speed x distance from a(n equally) relative (but momentarily taken for absolute) kind of business that associates venus with 5 petaled flowers since it does 5 looperdiloops in . .what . .is it a year? More like a whole bunch right? (I remember seeing the drawings in anthroposophical books).

oops, 'relative' should be 'relatively speaking, central'

visualization is good but the regularity of that animation is deceptive; in reality, all those heartily rotating chunks do so at their own pace and unpredictably 'under unidentifiable influence' kinds of speed, not to mention that the tenor of that site is disastrous and I intirely unreservedly OPpose it.

track of 2 orbiting bodies; that is their relative speed and distance with respect to a(n equally) relative (but momentarily taken as/for absolute) center (gravitational anchor) traces regular (poptoy) spirographicality

definitively loopy .. . . . .

how hard is it to make sense without a rock crusher?
