    Function findOrbitsInsideParent

    • The orbiting counterpart of findBodiesInsideParent: every body whose ORBIT carries it inside its parent's own radius at periapsis (a(1 − e) < parent radius), so for part of every orbit it renders inside the parent's sphere — or, for real data, has elements that can't be right (it would have hit the surface). findBodiesInsideParent can only check fixed positions, which have one distance; an orbit's closest approach is the static, date-independent equivalent. distanceKm is that periapsis distance. Same exclusions as findBodiesInsideParent (surface installations, unknown parents).
