The Lagrange Points: The Parking Spaces of Space

Описание к видео The Lagrange Points: The Parking Spaces of Space

The Lagrange Points are places where the forces acting on an object are perfectly balanced so that its orbit does not change. The James Webb Space Telescope will be parked near the Earth's L2 point. There are thousands of asteroids near Jupiter's Lagrange points which are called the trojans.
