Summary

Description

Image showing the relationship between the five Lagrangian points (red) of a planet (blue) orbiting a star (yellow), and the effective potential (gravitational + rotational) in the plane containing the orbit (grey surface with purple contours of equal potential). The potential was computed in POV-Ray using

for q = 0.1 and z = 0.[1]
