    If we want a space probe to be stationary relative to the Earth, then we need a Lagrange point! They’re five points of gravitational stability, but how do we know they’re there?

    A fun thing with Lagrange points is that they form the basis of extremely efficient orbital trajectories called "weak stability boundary transfer trajectories", part of a category of "low-energy transfers". Together, the system which connects these trajectories is called the "interplanetary transport network". If you have enough time and patience, you can use use these trajectories to wander around the Solar System for little to no fuel. Sometimes there is a free lunch after all!

    Thanks sir for such a simple explanation. It helped me in understanding the reason behind Deploying James Webb space telescope at L2.

    I am here a couple days after James Webb launched! Perfect timing! 😀

    Finally getting a sponsor and being noticed. I am so happy for you. You deserve more recognition than what you get.

    You do this so well and explain things like Richard Feynman.

    The fact the the man figured this out back when it was first presented is amazing! France has done some impressive things!

    I thought I fully understood Lagrange points..Turns out I was wrong! Great explanation!

    In the last millennium, there was a La Grange point somewhere around the 1970's. It was on the Top of the ZZ coordinates.

    I'm always impressed with your clarity of explanation! I look forward to more wonderful content during study breaks:)

    For some reason, UA-cam think that I need to know about Lagrange points. I’ll trust that your video will be the best explanation of all of them.

    This video does a great job of explaining the concept of Lagrange Points. The explanation is about as clear as could be. Maybe there should be some mention that the James Webb Space Telescope is heading for L2.

    Great video, but I wish you had explained how the Coriolis effect works at L4 and L5. I understand the effect as it applies to weather, but the extension to objects orbiting in space was not obvious.
