The distance to the Earth-sun Lagrange point 1 is about 932,000 miles (1.5 million kilometers) from Earth. Lagrange Point 2 is the same distance in the opposite direction.

Within the Earth-Sun system, there are five Lagrange points (L1 – L5), of which L2 is currently the home of the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) and was the home to previous observatories (like ...

The authors found that launching dustfrom Earth to a way station at the "Lagrange Point" between Earth and the sun (L1) would be most effective but would require astronomical cost and effort.

Lagrange points also occur within the Earth-Moon system, with L4 and L5 also being stable. Though they don't contain any smaller bodies (that we know of), astronomers have been searching for ...

The Namibia Scientific Society is inviting the public to join them for a fascinating talk titled, ‘Modeling and observations of particles around the triangular Lagrange points of the Earth-Moon and ...

Szapudi’s proposal, as described in a paper published on July 31 in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, would place this massive sun shade at the Sun-Earth Lagrange Point 1, or L1.

There are five Lagrange Points, labelled L1 to L5, each with unique properties and distances from Earth. L1 (First Lagrange Point) Location: Between the Earth and the Sun.
