The three-body problem was designed to determine the behavior of three interacting masses. In 1889, Henri Poincaré showed that the there are no closed form solutions. We will present some numerical experiments that demonstrate the presence of chaotic motions in a circular planar restricted three-body problem, which constitutes an obstruction against integrability. We will discus some applications in astrodynamics and mass transfers in binary stars.
