In celestial mechanics, the Lagrangian points (/ləˈɡrɑːndʒiən/; also Lagrange points, L-points, or libration points) are positions in an orbital configuration of two large bodies where a small object affected only by gravity can maintain a stable position relative to the two large bodies. —Wikipedia

A wonderful dispassionate view of the earth. It was so cool when they slowed it down to see the moon’s eclipse. Thanks for sharing this amazing video.

That WAS fun, Allan, although my head is still spinning as well. 🙂 Have a wonderful weekend.

I think that the science behind this stationary camera could be analyzed in a metaphorical sense about how we are sometimes caught between two opposing forces—good vs evil— and remain there until motivated to take action.
A heady subject for the weekend. Have a good one.

Too early, Allan. I’ll consider it later in the morning, perhaps after some tea. 🙂
