Plot of the orbit of comet Oterma in a Sun-Jupiter rotating frame, showing on the right a bottleneck region near Jupiter. In a new study, a statistical method used in chemical reaction dynamics is applied to problems in celestial mechanics, suggesting a useful alternative to large-scale numerical simulations.
