🪐 Orbital Resonance Simulator: 2D Restricted Three-Body Kirkwood Gap Lab

2D companion of the Orbital Resonance Simulator: integrate an asteroid in the circular restricted three-body problem with the Sun and Jupiter, watch the 3:1, 2:1 and Hilda resonances in the rotating frame and track a, e, the Jacobi constant and the resonant angle.
