#lagrange @ Lagrangedev Lagrange points are unique positions in space where the gravitational pull of two large bodies, like the Earth and the Sun, balance the centripetal force required for a smaller object to move with them. There are five such points, labeled L1 to L5. L1, L2, and L3 lie along the line connecting the two large bodies, while L4 and L5 form equilateral triangles with them. These points are crucial in space exploration and satellite placement. For instance, the James Webb Space Telescope is positioned at L2 for a stable view of deep space. Similarly, satellites at L1 monitor solar activity. Lagrange points reduce fuel consumption for spacecraft, making them ideal for long-term missions.
