Trojan Asteroids: Jupiter's Prisoners

The video explores the concept of Trojan asteroids, which are trapped in Jupiter's orbit due to gravity. It delves into the three-body problem solved by Joseph Louis Lagrange, explaining how certain points in space allow objects to remain stable. The discovery of Trojan asteroids near Jupiter is discussed, along with the challenges in detecting them due to their dimness and distance. The video also touches on Trojan moons and NASA's plans to explore these celestial bodies to understand the early solar system better.
