Neither are dynamically stable, and Traveller-5’s version destabilizes within an orbital period (in simple terms, Regina is outside the 1/3rd Hill Sphere radius of Assiniboia when in orbit Arr). In the plot, the blue orbit paths are idealized paths derived from kepler orbit elements, and the red and dashed paths output from nbody simulation.

The list is configured to hold messages based on size, not content. It’s currently set to 128K; I can easily set it to be larger. I kind of agree that the “no images/no html” rule is indeed antiquated.

I’ll note that I approved Vareck’s posting this morning, but the images did not come though because the flag to strip attachments was also set.

That said, numerous free online tools (Dropbox, Google Drive, OneDrive, etc etc etc) allow sharing of images via embeddable link.
