1. Lagrange Points of the Earth-Moon System A mechanical system with three objects, say the Earth, Moon and Sun, constitutes a three-body problem.
2. These five points were named Lagrange points and numbered from L1 to L5.
3. The Lagrange points L4 and L5 constitute stable equilibrium points, so that an object placed there would be in a stable orbit with respect to the Earth and Moon.
4. The Lagrange points L1, L2 and L3 would not appear to be so useful because they are unstable equilibrium points.
5. The third Lagrange point, L3, lies behind the sun, opposite Earth's orbit.
6. “NASA is unlikely to find any use for the L3 point since it remains hidden behind the sun at all times,” NASA wrote on a web page about Lagrange points.

8. Scientists also perform periodic studies of small bodies naturally occurring at Lagrange points.
9. L2 is one of the so-called Lagrangian points, discovered by mathematician Joseph Louis Lagrange.
10. Lagrangian points are locations in space where gravitational forces and the orbital motion of a body balance each other.
11. These have become known as Lagrangian points and are labelled L1 to L5.
12. And it’s at these gravitational sweet spots, called Lagrange points, where a smaller object can stay in equilibrium.
13. Lagrange points were first theorised in 1772, by French mathematician and astronomer Joseph-Louis Lagrange.
14. The five Lagrange points exist in the same relative positions around all major bodies in our Solar System, where one body orbits a more massive body.
15. So, there are Lagrange points in the Earth-Sun system, the Mars-Sun system, the Jupiter-Sun system, and so on.

17. The arrows indicate the gradients of the potential around the five Lagrange points—downhill toward them () or away from them ().
18. , the Lagrange points (also Lagrangian points or libration points) are points of equilibrium for small-mass objects under the influence of two massive orbiting bodies.
19. Small objects placed in orbit at Lagrange points are in equilibrium in at least two directions relative to the center of mass of the large bodies.
20. Lagrange Points Lagrange points are positions in space where objects sent there tend to stay put.
21. At Lagrange points, the gravitational pull of two large masses precisely equals the centripetal force required for a small object to move with them.
22. Lagrange Points are positions in space where the gravitational forces of a two body system like the Sun and the Earth produce enhanced regions of attraction and repulsion.
23. The Lagrange Points are positions where the gravitational pull of two large masses precisely equals the centripetal force required for a small object to move with them.
24. Constructed at a Lagrange point were three huge space colonies: the Isis Cluster; two artificial biospheres, named Land-1 and Land-2, and a satellite.
25. Lagrangian point, in astronomy, a point in space at which a small body, under the gravitational influence of two large ones, will remain approximately at rest relative to them.
26. In the Earth-Sun system the first (L1) and second (L2) Lagrangian points, which occur some 1,500,000 km (900,000 miles) from Earth toward and away from the Sun, respectively, are home to satellites.
27. The James Webb Space Telescope, right, will focus on the heavens from an even better vantage: a distant Lagrange point in space.
28. In fact, Queqiao orbits the Earth-Moon L2 Lagrange point, a different point in space.
29. The Earth-sun orbital relationship produces five Lagrange points, which scientists number L1 through L5.
30. Webb experiences the pull of gravity from both our own planet and the sun at Lagrange point 2 (L2), one of five such points in the sun-Earth system.
31. Space explorers love Lagrange points because when viewed from Earth, the points appear to stay in fixed locations, making them convenient for communicating with spacecraft.
32. Cornish compares Lagrange points to a marble on a hilly surface.
33. You can plow through many math operations to find Lagrange points, but that requires solving a messy 12th- or 15th-order polynomial equation.
34. NASA’s DSCOVR deep space climate observatory mission is one of a number of spacecraft to have utilized Sun-Earth Lagrange point 1.
35. These triangular libration points located 60 degrees ahead and behind Earth in its orbit are more stable than the other three points and could harbor near-Earth objects.
36. NASA’s Lucy mission will visit Jupiter’s Lagrange points where the Trojan asteroids have been gravitationally trapped for billions of years, holding clues to the formation of our solar system.
37. Lagrange points are named after the Italian astronomer and mathematician who first proposed them.
38. NASA’s taking advantage of those Lagrange Points to send two new extraordinary missions.
39. The Queqiao satellite orbits around the L 2 Lagrange point located behind Earth and the Moon to relay communications from China’s lunar landers back to Earth.
40. The five Lagrange Points between the Earth are labelled (somewhat unimaginatively) L1 to L5.
41. Lagrange points are locations in space where gravitational forces and the orbital motion of a body balance each other.
42. Lagrange points nat­u­ral­ly appear as spe­cial solu­tions of the so-called ‘restrict­ed’ three-body prob­lem, in which one of the bod­ies is very small com­pared to the oth­er two.
43. The orbit of the Earth (green) and the Lagrange points (black) around the Sun (orange) at the cen­tre, in the co-rotat­ing ref­er­ence frame.
44. The Lagrange point L2 lies on the oth­er side of the Earth from L1, and L3 on the oth­er side of the Sun.
45. Artificial satellites On the prac­ti­cal side of things, it is main­ly the L1 and L2 Lagrange points that have inter­est­ed space agen­cies.
46. Then there are five Lagrange points where we can put a satellite.
47. The stable Lagrange points are the most interesting for astronomy, because stuff tends to accumulate there.
48. It later was shown that if objects are not in precisely the right positions then an object at the first three Lagrange points will wander off.
49. Asteroids that orbit a planet’s L4 or L5 Lagrange points are known as Trojan Asteroids.
50. The first (and currently most) known Trojan Asteroids are located around the Lagrange points of Jupiter.
51. L 4 {\displaystyle L_{4}} and L 5 {\displaystyle L_{5}} are points leading and trailing the orbiting body at an angle of approximately 60° from the Earth-Sun line.
52. Communications satellites inserted in stable orbits around the Lagrangian points - long-term nodes of communication between Earth and Mars.
53. The previous post looked at two of the five Lagrange points of the Sun-Earth system.
54. The remaining Lagrange points, L4 and L5, are stable.
55. The Sun is over 1000 times more massive than Jupiter, so Jupiter’s L4 and L5 Lagrange points with respect to the Sun are stable.
56. The Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP), which measures radiation from the big bang, lives at a Lagrange point called L2 more than 1 million kilometres away.
57. That’s because massive bodies like the sun and planets have gravitational fields that resemble mountains and hills, but Lagrange points are all at gravitational lowlands.
58. Stepping out into interplanetary space, Lagrange points present the nearest milestone to Earth that’s still beyond the moon,” Friedman told New Scientist.
59. “I see what we could do at Lagrange points in the same way.
60. There are five Lagrange Points in the Earth-Moon system; they are not absolutely fixed in relation to the Earth and Moon but, because of the Sun's influence, slowly circle "Lagrange Regions".
61. A lagrangian point refers to a point in space where overlapping gravity fields between two celestial bodies provide a place of neutral gravity.
62. Each body usually has five lagrangian points.
63. DSCOVR recently reached its station about a million miles away between the Earth and the sun at a Lagrange point , where gravitational fields of Earth and Sun cancel out.
