- noun any one of five points in the plane of a system of two large astronomical bodies orbiting each other, as the Earth-moon system, where the gravitational pull of the two bodies on an object are approximately equal, and in opposite directions. A solid object moving in the same velocity and direction as such a
libration point will remain in gravitational equilibrium with the two bodies of the system and not fall toward either body.
