Message:


jupiter and some of its moons are in orbital resonance (is this the same as 
gravitational resonance).  and some of the planets are in resonance with each 
other.  are all the bodies with significant mass in resonance with each other, 
or are they evolving to that state.  and does this have anything to do with the 
earth's moon and its orbit.
