The Lagrangian equilibrium stability points, or L points, are the five places where the combined gravitational forces of two bodies produce regions of gravitational balance. These are little pockets ...

Visualization of the Sun-Earth Lagrange points. Orbital mechanics is a fun subject, as it involves a lot of seemingly empty space that’s nevertheless full of very real forces, all of which must ...

Step aside, Darth Vader. National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA)'s Joint EUV Coronal Diagnostic Investigation, also known as JEDI, has an even bigger task to balance the force in space, ...

Some of the anticipation surrounding the $488 million SPHEREx mission mirrors what we saw on Christmas Day in 2021, when ...

Among the performers are the Lagrange Points – cosmic positions shaped by the gravitational interplay between two massive actors, like the Sun and Earth. These points give rise to amplified ...
