I love those animations of the system, especially the one viewing from a moon. Nice place to live if there was air and it wasn't about 1000 deg. Interesting how the binary pair in the system slows down and speeds up and "wobble" back and fowards across the line of the orbit. I know all bodies that are gravitationally bound do it to a certain degree (eg earth - moon) but I've not seen it illustrated as well as that before. Great stuff
