Where are they? I want to pull up with my homie and surprise him 🤫

In his partners body cam video you can hear a sound before he starts shooting. Still don’t know how you would mistake that for a gunshot, but there was at least a sound 🤷

If you understand gravity wells, think of L1/L2/L3 as the shape of a saddle. If you’re right in the middle of the saddle it’s a pretty stable orbit, but if you get too close to any of the edges you fall right out of it. L4 and L5 are like the peaks of a mountain.

Also worth pointing out that only L4 and L5 are stable, L1/L2/L3 are only metastable where they require a bit of maintenance to stay there.

Another fun fact about Legrange Points: There’s a group of asteroids called the Trojan Asteroids. There’s technically two groups of these since they’re stuck in L4 and L5 in the Sun/Jupiter system.

This. There’s 5 Legrange Points for every 2 body system. They’re specific points around the 2 bodys where the gravity “cancels out”. In this case the 2 body system is the Earth and the Sun. This point for the JWST is a million miles from Earth on the opposite side of the sun.

I would expect it to be higher if that’s the case. The ones that wouldn’t take it would probably be the ones not planning on going to college.

Not to mention that the gas companies were reporting record profits after increasing the price.
