Philplait is in a near 42:13 resonance with Jupiter, so it makes a cool pattern in a frame rotated with Jupiter's period.
Yellow (center): Sun
Gray: Mercury
White: Venus
Blue/Gray: Earth & Moon
Orange: Mars
Green: Philplait
Magenta: Jupiter (tracing an oval around its average position in a rotating frame designed to keep it still)
