Usual periodic orbits have periods of the order of magnitude of a few revolutions. However if we consider much longer periods it is possible to find, for three given masses, periodic orbits in any neighbourhood of arbitrary given initial eccentricities and inclinations provided that the distance of the outer body is sufficiently large with respect to the mutual distance of the two inner bodies.
