File talk:Galilean moon Laplace resonance animation.gif

Seems Incorrect

The diagram shows Ganymede with a 3:1 resonance with Io rather than the 4:1 it should be. Would someone mind fixing it? ALK (Talk) 20:28, 29 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Look more carefully, it makes 1 rotation when Io makes 4, which makes it 4:1. Beta M 17:45, 26 November 2011 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Beta M (talk • contribs)

Really like this animation especially since it is not moving on the page, which I find highly distracting. Much easier to deduce that Io is pulled in eccentric orbit, which is the cause of it's tidal forces. By the way, I thought it was a 3 to 1 resonance also, will look again.Viridiflavus (talk) 08:42, 16 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
