Looking into it, couldn't a planet orbit one of the two stable Lagrange points between the two groups, L4 and L5? That wouldn't be "inside" the orbit though :(

- leni536 11y agoYeah, I would think that the quasi stable orbits would be L4, L5 or orbiting around any of the pairs. If you have a symmetric situation isn't the middle point exactly L1? That would be unstable. Edit: From Wikipedia: >The triangular points (L4 and L5) are stable equilibria, provided that the ratio of M1/M2 is greater than 24.96. So with a symmetric situation, where M1/M2=1 they wouldn't be stable either.
