Category:Lagrangian Points

The Lagrangian points, also Lagrange points, L-points, or libration points, are the five positions in an orbital configuration where a small object affected only by gravity can be part of a constant-shape pattern with two larger objects (such as a satellite with respect to the Earth and its moon Luna). The Lagrange points mark positions where the combined gravitational pull of the two large masses provides precisely the centripetal force required to orbit with them.
