☿️ Mercury Perihelion Precession Lab: Einstein's 43 Arcsecond Test (2D)
Mercury's orbit does not close: general relativity adds 43 arcseconds per century to its perihelion. Compare Newton, first-order relativity and the exact Schwarzschild orbit, with exaggeration, an eccentricity sweep and independent checks.
