Abstract
No one questions the existence of gravity in everyday life. When we put something on a table (astronauts excepted), typically we expect it to stay there. Gravity is mathematically a little subtle, though, and in this chapter we look at the gravity field around the Earth and Moon, as well as that inside the trinary system that we see as the star Algol.
