Lagrange Points

Earth in the Center with the Moon

Sun in the Center with the Earth

If you are going to watch Gundam there is one thing that you might want to know and that is Lagrange Points. In the series they never say what Lagrange Points really are so then you begin to think it is just a base or area that they own. In a way it is but there is a lot more to it. In Gundam 00 they talk about going to a Lagrange Point as if it were one of there bases. In Gundam SEED they talk about it as an area. So I decided to do some research and found out it is actually. The information is not exactly clear and does not answer certain questions so if you have any questions I say you should go do some research. I might be able to do some if you ask but it is hard to find information on this. A Lagrange Point is a stable point in gravity. It seems simple and there are equations to find them but it is long and I don't have the time to write it all out. So a stable point of gravity it sounds simple and should be easy to understand but it arose the question if it is around Earth or around the Sun. I have seen both more Sun than Earth so I would think both are right. However Lagrange one, two and three are unstable. Lagrange four and five have large amounts of dust. So if you were in Lagrange one to three the object would need thrusters and have to activate them every once in a while. In Lagrange four and five you would need strong shielding. I have found interest in Lagrange Points for a while and hope this helped answer some questions or help you understand Gundam a little more. For the Americans 1.5 million km is 932,056 miles. So then 150 million km is 93,205,678 miles.
