A Lagrange point is a position in space where the gravitational forces of two large bodies, such as a planet and a moon or a planet and the sun, balance out the centripetal force experienced by a smaller body. This results in a stable or semi-stable location where the smaller body can maintain a position relative to the two larger bodies, effectively "parking" in that location.
