Episode 35: Lagrange Points - Rest Spots and Parking Spots on the Highway of Space - BIIRS Season 3

But it is Rocket Science

In this week's episode, we shine the spotlight on Lagrange Points! How can you be stationary but be moving at the same time in space? Who discovered Lagrange Points? Why are they useful? Tune in to find out all about them! We have Merch!! https://www.butitisrocketscience.com/shop Find us on social media!
