Zoom in closer, two bodies with rotation. Lagrange points in action The SOHO satellite is close to the Earth-Sun L1 point. A discussion of the Lagrange Points from SOHO's web site. Technical derivation and analysis of the Lagrange Points, again by Neil Cornish. John Baez's page on the Lagrange Points (John is a mathematical physicist at UC Riverside)
