the Lagrange points are not related to Lagrangian mechanics per se. They really represent dynamical equilibria between centrifugal and gravitational potentials ... Les

I think I understand. I linked to the illustration because it showed field lines, the sort of picture I have of switching to an `energy' view of a system. So the `dynamic equilibra' are what I think of as `quiet' zones or regions.

The horseshoe orbit was amazing.
