Abstract: We study the dynamics of a pair of extremal (half-BPS) black holes in $mathcalN=8$ supergravity, as a potentially solvable model of gravitational dynamics. As a diagnosis of hidden symmetries, we ask whether the perihelion of the orbits precesses over time. We consider black hole charge vectors with arbitrary misalignment. First, we use scattering amplitude methods to compute the leading post-Newtonian correction for general mass ratios. This computation is greatly simplified by introducing a suitable on-shell superspace. Second, we study the probe limit to all orders in velocity and Newton's constant through a ten-dimensional brane setup. In all cases we find no precession. We relate this to the absence of scalar triangle integrals.
