The green line connects the center of mass with Jupiter and the box size remains constant at 4 km.   85   Simulations of the Breakup of Comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 Employing a Swarm Model: Dynamical Evolution
In this animation of the initial simulation conditions, the comet orbit around Jupiter is shown, then the view zooms in to the comet at a distance of 2.1 Jovian radii from Jupiter, where the initial spherical distribution is shown within a box 4 km on a side.   84   Simulations of the Breakup of Comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 Employing a Swarm Model: Initial Conditions
