... The initial studies by Newton focused on the motion of the Sun, Earth and Moon, expressed as a system, and attempted to infer their orbits in some meaningful fashion. From that point onward, the three-body problem became a central point in mathematical physics, drawing the attention of renowned physicists, such as Euler [2] and Lagrange [3]. Several of the attempts to solve the problem drew new perspectives forward, as is the case of the work of Poincaré [4], who demonstrated that the problem could not be solved by analytical means due to the chaotic nature of the system. ...
