Controls
The classic rubber-sheet picture of gravity: mass warps the grid, and a body orbits in the curved surface. Drag the star to move the mass and reshape the well; drag empty space to orbit the view.

Governing equation
Reading this result: At mass 60 the well is moderately curved; the body traces a near-stable ellipse because its sideways motion balances the inward pull (∝ M/r²).
