Gravitational Capture

Gravitational Capture is a dynamical astrophysical process in which a celestial body becomes bound to a larger body through gravitational interaction without the use of propulsion, typically occurring when kinetic energy is dissipated via a third body or dissipative forces, thereby distinguishing it from orbital insertion by active maneuvering.
