Looking at the moon in Celestia and I found this little wobble in its orbit. The red arc is the moon's path and the lower blue arc is the Earth's path. Probably hard to tell from the image, but the wobble is directly beneath (I guess "beneath" doesn't have much meaning in space) the Earth's path.

Anyway, is this just a bug in the software or does the moon's orbit actually dip in like that?

Here is a zoomed-out view from "above" showing where the dip is in relation to the Earth.
