Stable Solar Orbits

I came across this update early this morning (thanks to @Paul_Kinlan for resharing it):

Nice animation of the 5 Lagrange points where the earth and moon's gravity are equal. http://bit.ly/1ETb72 <- Idea spots for spacecraft.

The European Space Agency has generated a very easy to grasp visualization of Lagrange points for the Earth, Sun and potential orbital positions. These orbits can prove as potential platforms for space constructions of the future (L4 & L5 have the greatest stability).
