In our last session we talked about Tisserand's Parameter and how it helps us to understand the astro-dynamical link or relationship between e.g. short-period comets and the gas giant Jupiter.

If you recall the equation, it was not really complex ... but it had the inclination, eccentricity and semi-major axis as input parameters; so basically: high dimensional input.

Now how does the solution space for the Tisserand's Parameter look like? Let's visualize it by creating an animation / GIF of all possible solutions w.r.t. Jupiter.

We will learn to create a stack of images and how to merge them into a proper animation using the library imageio.
