Zeroth-order approximation of our solar system, simulating about 3 earth years. The orbits shown are for the sun ("orbit"), Mercury, and Jupiter. Also encouraging is that error in energy conservation due to discreteness effects is less than .0001% relative to the total energy of the system, even with a timestep of 1 second, after ~3 years.
