Hi all, I’m working on my first three.js project, its an earth with comets at elliptical orbits… check below. [Screenshot 2022-04-20 at 16.25.31] I’ve traced out the orbits I want with the EllipseCurve, and rotated them to give the eccentricity. The issue I’m having is, how to get the comets …

Maybe this topic will be helpful: Camera + EllipseCurve Camera moves on the ellipse curve in 3D. You can use any other object instead of the camera.

Elliptical orbits, objects following EllipseCurve

Regardless of the error (?) I see a problem with this solution variant.
