I've been missing all of you for sure now for some time. Especially my old-fashioned American Indian style girl friend with her leather boots and gigantic ass! The doctor says I can stop refraining from feather beds and pillow talk now that the appendages are glued on in a more natural position!

It's not looking terribly Christmassy in here. Are you boycotting the season?

Learn it. Know it. Live it.:
A circular, restricted, three-body problem gives solutions for the motion of a third body whose mass does not affect the motion of the system due to the gravitational forces from two other massive bodies rotating around their center of mass under their mutual gravitational attraction. The problem takes the orbits of the two massive bodies as coplanar and circular. Even if the two orbits are not exactly coplanar and circular, approximating their orbits in this manner and assuming no influence to the third object's motion because of its mass yields analytical solutions for qualitative analysis for the motion. Forces from outside the system are neglected, assuming the gravitational forces of the two massive objects determine the behavior of third object's motion.

At five different locations in the plane of rotation the gravitational forces the object feels is equal to the centripetal force needed to rotate with the other two bodies. An object at one of these points will not move in the plane of rotation. The object will share the same orbital period as the other two bodies do around the system's center of mass. The points of equilibrium are called the Lagrange points.
L1, L2, L3, L4, and L5 are the labels for the individual Lagrange points. L1, L2, and L3 are collinear with the axis connecting the two massive bodies, with one between them and the other two on the outside. In the Sun-Earth system the L1 point is between the two massive bodies. L2 is past the Earth, and past the Sun is L3. L4 and L5 are at the apex of equilateral triangles with the massive bodies at the vertices (Figure 1.) L4 usually is usually associated with the leading triangle, L5 the trailing.

Outside forces ignored by the circular, restricted three-body system become important to the motion of an object at a Lagrange point. The forces due to gravity of the two massive bodies in the system dwarf outside perturbations, but objects at Lagrange points are in a delicate balance between those forces. Despite their small magnitude, outside forces will disrupt that balance, not allowing an object to stay at those points for any length of time. Some small outside forces can be radiation pressure or forces of gravity from an outlying massive body.

Objects can settle in an orbit around a Lagrange point. Orbits around the three collinear points, L1, L2, and L3, are unstable. They last but days before the object will break away. L1 and L2 last about 23 days. Objects orbiting around L4 and L5 are stable because the Coriolis force keeps them spinning around the Lagrange point.

And then who will be laughing? Laughing. Laughing. Plunging into the Sun or worse yet, cast out into interstellar space, quietly waiting for the terminal shock.

December 22 - Winter Solstice. The winter solstice is one of the two times each year that the Sun is at its farthest point from the equator and appears to stand still. It occurs today at 2:04 A.M. EST. The word solstice is derived from the Latin sol, or "Sun," and stitium, or "stoppage." The Halcyon Days also occur around this time. According to ancient legend, a grieving wife named Alcyone, or Halcyon, threw herself into the sea upon discovering the drowned body of her beloved husband, Ceyx. The gods took pity on the pair, transforming them into kingfishers with the power to still the stormy seas for 14 days around the time of the winter solstice while they built their nest and hatched their young.
