| Sep 2, 2016 at 1:45 | comment | added | uhoh | Although part of the premise may not be 100% correct, this part of the question (the sentence ending with a question mark) is clear: "If this is a possible periodic solution for a three-body problem, can anybody tell me where is the center of mass of the system?" It has a clear answer, posted below. | |
