	Actually, these are the L4 and L5 points, and lead and trail the
small body by 60 degrees:


                             ..... L4
                       ...../
                      /
                large                 small
       L3 ----- body ---------- L1 -- body -- L2
                      \
                       .....
                            \
                             ..... L5
