Hmm - I read this (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lagrangian_point …) but still confused - the triangular shape is explained but it seems the other two points should be somewhere on the line that connects Jupiter and the Sun?
-
The L4 and L5 regions are stable, so there are asteroids there (green). The other libration regions (L1,2,3) are not, so they don’t show up. The ‘triangle’ is actually a completely different phenomenon not related to libration. See ‘Hilda asteroids’ for more info.
