kepler.ts:70
sphereOfInfluence(semiMajorAxis: number, bodyMass: number, primaryMass: number) → number
Radius of the sphere of influence of a body orbiting a primary.
The simulation uses this to decide when an approaching ship should be re-framed onto a planet, so it is physics rather than a rendering heuristic.
