thumb|A simple [[hexagonal rosette with two kinds of body, which Klemperer notes is the nearest to being stable.]]

thumb|The simplest system is three bodies in each other's [[Lagrangian points each with the same elliptical orbit; it is the only configuration known to occur naturally. Klemperer called this a "rhombus" instead of a "rosette".]]

A Klemperer rosette is a gravitational system of (optionally) alternating heavier and lighter bodies orbiting in a symmetrical pattern around a common barycenter. It was first described by W.B. Klemperer in 1962,
