Launching Oct. 16, NASA Solar System Exploration’s #LucyMission will visit Lagrange points around Jupiter where "Trojan asteroids" have been trapped for billions of years, holding clues to the formation of our solar system! 🤔 But, what ARE Lagrange Points?

How Do Satellites Orbit the L-Points in Space? - Lagrange Points (L1–L5) are special locations in space where the gravitational forces of two large bodies—like the Earth and the Sun—create a stable zone. Spacecraft placed here use less fuel, stay in predictable paths, and get the perfect view for observing the Sun, deep space, or distant galaxies.

From here, the Lagrange satellite will detect potentially hazardous solar events before they come into view from Earth, giving us advance knowledge of their speed, direction and chance of impact. | ESA - European Space Agency | Facebook
