Airy points are specific locations in geophysics and astronomy where gravitational and centrifugal forces are perfectly balanced, allowing for stable orbits of satellite objects. They are closely related to the concept of "Lagrange points," which are positions in space where the gravitational forces of two large bodies, such as Earth and the Moon, allow a smaller object to maintain a stable position relative to the two larger bodies.
