Abstract
A new periodic solution with a binary collision and with several close approaches is found in the problem of three bodies by numerical integration using regularized variables. The masses of the participating bodies are 3, 4, and 5 and the distances between the bodies at the beginning of the motion are approximately 3, 4, and 5.
