File information
Description

This animation shows how a halo orbit looks from above in a coordinate frame that rotates with the Earth and Moon, so they appear to hold stationary. The blue sphere is the Earth, the gray sphere is the Moon, and the two red spheres are the Lagrange points L1 and L2. The spacecraft is orbiting near the L2 point.
