Lagrange points are also known as _____ points.
Libration
Lagrange points are five positions (L1 to L5) in a two-body system such as the Sun and the Earth where a small object can stay in a fixed position relative to the two large bodies, because their gravity balances the centripetal force needed to orbit with them.
They are also called libration points (or L-points), since objects placed there librate, that is, oscillate gently about the point.
For example, India's Aditya-L1 solar observatory is placed in a halo orbit around the Sun-Earth L1 point. Terms like middle, centre or shortcut points are not used for them.
Hence, Libration.
