A virtual Earth-like planet (green) is added to the actual Solar System.
Each frame of this animation corresponds to a particular trajectory of this planet
when moved from beyond Pluto -bottom left- to the Sun -top right- and 16.pi rotated (see figure "The journey of an Earth-like planet (green) in the Solar System").
For each of these trajectories, the 11-body system is visualized
with the virtual planet at the origin of coordinates.
The relative trajectories look non periodical and even chaotic.
It is worth noting that the same phenomenon can be observed
with with pure uniform circular motions.
What kind of science -astronomy in particular- could be developped
in a such non regular context?
