      ABSTRACT

      The center of mass of the Earth–Moon system or any other set of bodies (e.g. the solar system). If two bodies move under the influence of their mutual gravitational attractions, they will describe orbits around a point between them, the center of mass of the two bodies. The relative distances of the two bodies from this point will be inversely proportional to their masses
