I wonder what the predictions are like. When it finally gets to Jupiter, eight years from now, do we know now where the moons will be ? To what accuracy ?

- hermitcrab 4y agoI believe orbits are chaotic over a timespan of many millions of years (due to weak interactions with multiple other bodies), but accurately predictable over a human lifespan.
