Lagrange Points and Trojan Orbits 2

Insights for a complementary explanation of Lagrange points from inertial reference framesAuthor: FastFourierTransform Original post on the forum: linkI want to try to address this. As Watsisname said; establishing a non-inertial co-rotating frame of reference has many advantages in terms of understanding the actual situation but...

Gravitational balance and stable configurations in rotating reference framesAuthor: Watsisname Original post on the forum: linkIntroductionWhen two masses move in a circular orbit about each other, five points of gravitational equilibrium are generated, which move along with them.  A particle placed at one of these points will have...
