  64. <COMMENTS>CONCEPT:
  65. This universe demonstrates the effect of initial velocity on orbit.
  66.  
  67. ACTIVITY:
  68. Four moons are positioned approximately the same horizontal distance away from a planet.  The initial upward velocity for each moon increases from the lowest moon up.  Animate the system forward and observe what happens.
  69.  
  70. Q&A:
  71. 1.  What are the basic shapes of the resulting orbits?
  72. 2.  What role did the initial velocities play in determining these orbits.  What about the initial positions?
