##Total Energy The total energy of the system had almost no variation over the entire simulation, out to three decimal places, ranging between -405.084 and -405.086. The total energy began slightly higher and oscillated between values early-on, but stabilized to -405.084 by the 285th orbit. The total energy was well-preserved with the leap frog integration scheme, the given dt, and the given epsilon.
