eCrdnLagrangeLibrationPointTypeL11A point between the Sun and Earth.
eCrdnLagrangeLibrationPointTypeL22Similar to L2, but on the night side of Earth, further away from the Sun, but about the same distane from Earth.
eCrdnLagrangeLibrationPointTypeL33L3 lies on a line defined by the Sun and Earth, on the opposite side of the Sun, just outside the orbit of Earth. L3 remains hidden behind the Sun at all times.
eCrdnLagrangeLibrationPointTypeL44The L4 and L5 points lie at 60 degrees ahead of and behind Earth in its orbit as seen from the Sun. L4 and L5 are \"stable\" points.
eCrdnLagrangeLibrationPointTypeL55The L4 and L5 points lie at 60 degrees ahead of and behind Earth in its orbit as seen from the Sun. L4 and L5 are \"stable\" points.
