 # Summary
 
-The dynamical evolution of planetary systems is dominated by gravitational interactions between massive bodies. Determining the orbits of massive bodies over long time scales is the first step towards understanding the formation and evolution of planets, moons, asteroids, comets, and more. To model these systems, which often include hundreds or thousands of gravitationally interacting bodies, a numerical tool called an N-body integrator is often employed.
