  Hill sphere - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
A Hill sphere approximates the gravitational sphere of influence of one astronomical body in the face of perturbations from another heavier body around which it orbits.
The Hill sphere is the largest sphere, centered at the second body, within which the sum of the three fields is directed towards the second body.
Orbits at or just within the Hill sphere are not stable in the long term; from numerical methods it appears that stable satellite orbits are inside 1/2 to 1/3 of the Hill radius (with retrograde orbits being more stable than prograde orbits).
