We have an N bodies which gravitates with another body. Only that one body is moving and all N bodies are static.
Is it possible to calculate analytically the moving body trajectory in this case?

Already Euler solved the problem of computing the orbit of a body moving in the gravitational field from two fixed masses; see for example Wikipedia.
With more than two fixed masses I don't know the answer, but I suspect that it's not an integrable system anymore (except perhaps for very particular configurations of the masses).
