Demonstration of the dynamics of massless particles in restricted three-body problem. The blue arrow represents the gravity acting on the particle, the green arrow represents centrifugal force, and the red arrow represents the Coriolis force. In this simulation, we assuem the mass ratio between the central star (M1) and it's planet (M2) being M1/M2 = 25 (i.e. M2 = ). With this mass ratio, L4 and L5 are stable. Thus we see the point staying around L4. Check other simulation in the same series:
