The Lagrange Points: The Parking Spaces of Space

The Lagrange Points are places where the forces acting on an object are perfectly balanced so that its orbit does not change. The James Webb Space Telescope will be parked near the Earth's L2 point. There are thousands of asteroids near Jupiter's Lagrange points which are called the trojans.

This video has made use of data provided by the International Astronomical Union's Minor Planet Center.

They spent 1.5 hours back at school explaining the lagrange points and I still did not really understood them, but it's perfectly clear after just a 4 minute video. They should allow for more online courses :)

Nicely done explanation, and I'm really impressed with the visuals and editing. Well done sir!

Every since James Webb telescope launched. I’ve wondered how it could just be flung to a certain point without bypassing it. Now I understand. Really cool.

Great video! That was a splendid visualisation of the Lagrange points.
The only thing that stood out for me was that I've never heard Euler's name pronounced like that. I've always heard it, amongst academics, as sounding like "Oiler" as in "a person who oils" but with a shorter last syllable.
It's because he was Swiss & his native languages were German & French.
Apart from that you've really helped my understanding. Thank you!

This is the best Lagrange point explainer I've seen on YouTube.

Good explanation and visuals thank you

The flat surface example was so beautiful and clear. Finally it helps me understand it instantly.

Thank you for clarity. Best video on YouTube.

One of the most beautiful videos I have watched. Thank you very much❤.

[Bremerhaven_Rocks]

That was awesome. Right now reading Seven Eves and they were discussing LaGrange points. Couldn't visualize what was being discussed. This video helped immensely. Thank you

[glenndizzle]

Actually understand the Lagrange points after watching this, thanks!!! Well done.

[StargazerFS]

This was the best visualization of an L point I have seen, I watched three video before this one but no need to watch another, thanks!

[djstapler]

This helped me visualize some Lagrangian mechanics thank you <3

[alvifatimarizwi]

Brilliant. Man. You explained it so well.

[jmpaq]

I have just awakened to Lagrange points, and the space fabric animation here is super!

[rainerbuechse]

Excellent! Many other YouTube explanations on the matter are pure BS. Phantastic graphics!

[pottierkurt]

You need more subs. I actually learned about lagrange points the first time from Gundam 00

[RififiLeloulou]

Wooo that was an excellente visualisation of the potential energy. Great job on this video !

I came here because of the launching of the James Webb telescope. Simply and well explained. I suggest you use a pop filter since every time you pronounce a plosive consonant, the speakers almost explode. Thanks a lot.

Thanks to Euler & Lagrange .... May be solar system knows that in future humans will send satillight to study about sun and other planets thats the reason they arranged this parking points. 🙂😊☺️😇🇮🇳.. and even big thanks to channel..
