Still wondering, though- what is causing its oscillations to max out and switch direction at a seemingly arbitrary spot on the right side of the needle? There seems to be no change in the needle at this point. Is it a point where forces equal 0, i.e. the midpoint of the needle?
Well the orbit isn’t stable so I think the fact the gif is only a few seconds is somewhat deceiving
