Thus the distance to L1 is about 0.01 of the distance to the Sun. It is now possible to go back to more exact equations, like 3z3 ~ y(1+z), and replace z on the right by its approximate value 0.01, to get more accurate solutions.

[edit] L1
The L1 point lies on the line defined by the two large masses M1 and M2, and between them.
L1 libration point The point about one one-hundredth of the way from the Earth to the Sun, where the gravitational pull of the Earth and Sun and centripetal force balance in such a way as to give an orbit of exactly one Earth year.
L1 through L3 are points of unstable equilibrium; any disturbance will move a test particle there out of the Lagrange point. L4 and L5 are points of stable equilibrium, provided that the mass of the secondary is less than ~1/24.
L1/L2 = (r1)2/(r2)2
Think about what this means. If r1 is 5 cm and r2 is 10 cm, then there is 1/4 as much light per square cm at r2 as at r1. So the distance changed by a factor of 2, but the amount of light per square cm changed by a factor of 4.
ACE orbits the L1 libration point - a point of Earth-Sun gravitational equilibrium about 1.5 million kilometres away - from where it continuously monitors the solar wind and high energy particles accelerating through the Solar System.
The bright D/1770 L1 Lexell passed less than 0.02 AU from the Earth in July 1770, the closest flyby of a comet in recorded history. It was never seen again.
Lagrange Points (L1,L2)
In the Earth-sun system, the Lagrange Points (or equilibrium points) L1 and L2 are located on a line containing the Earth and sun with L1 between the Earth and sun and L2 beyond the Earth away from the sun.
The point at which the Roche lobes of the two stars touch is called the inner Lagrangian or L1 point.

The number is used to separate this class M (M5) giant from more ordinary and unconnected fifth magnitude (4.88) class A (A0-peculiar) L1 Pup, which lies immediately to the south and is at least 10 light years away from L2.
The most well know Lagrange point, L1, lies on this line between the the two large bodies. At point L1, the gravitational forces acting on a small body, such as a spacecraft, due to the other two bodies balance out.
3 and 3C 382 (Osterbrock et al 1976 ApJ 206, 898), and 3C 332 (Halpern 1990 ApJLett 354, L1). Even the LINER NGC 1097 and the LINER and low-level Seyfert 1 nucleus in M81 show this behavior at least occasionally, especially in the UV lines.
There are five, labeled L1 through L5. L1, L2, and L3 lie along the centerline between the centers of mass between the two masses; L1 is on the inward side of the secondary, L2 is on the outward side of the secondary; ...
The Solar and Heliospheric Observatory spacecraft (SOHO) follows a "halo" orbit around Earth's L1, which is 1.53 x 106 km from Earth.
ACE and SOHO are both located at the L1 point. This is the "balancing" point found between the Earth and the Sun at which spacecraft can idle because gravity pulls here with equal force and in opposite directions, causing the pulls to cancel out.
This sequence of images of the the Sun in ultraviolet light was taken by the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO) spacecraft on February 11, 1996 from its unique vantage point at the "L1" gravity neutral point 1 million miles sunward from the ...
The Advanced Composition Explorer (ACE) satellite was launched in August of 1997 and placed into an orbit about the L1 point between the Earth and the Sun.
To find out, Genesis traveled to the so-called Lagrange L1 point in space a million miles from Earth. At that point, gravity of the Earth and the Sun are in balance.
The Genesis spacecraft as it was deployed in orbit around L1, collecting the solar wind. (Image: JPL / LMA) The solar wind is a flow of charged particles from the Sun into space.
The Roche lobes of the two stars meet at a point on the line joining them"the inner Lagrange point (L1), which we saw in Chapter 14 when discussing asteroid motions in the solar system.

Its unrelated neighbour, L1, is an alpha CV variable: 4.86 to 4.93, every 22h.
Deep Sky Objects: Puppis has three Messiers and several more deep sky objects of interest.
If the adapter fails, most likely it requires replacing inductor L1 (330uH, 1.6A), switching regulator IC U1 (LT1170CT) and diode D1 (1N5821).
Three of the points are on the line passing through the centers of mass of the two bodies - L2 beyond the most massive body, L1 (the point through which mass transfer occurs) between the two bodies, and L3 beyond the less massive body.
from Earth (L1). This point is beyond any significant influences of Earth's magnetic field and the particles that it traps. It reached this point on November 16, 2001, and deployed its collector arrays on December 3, 2001.
one can change a spatial and time separation (L1, ?t1) into another (L2, ?t2) by changing one's reference frame, as long as the change maintains the spacetime interval s.
Three of these points lie in a line joining the two large bodies; one point between the two larger bodies (L1); the other two points either side of them (L2 & L3).
This happens because at those five points, the gravitational force of the large objects is exactly equal to the centripetal force required to rotate with the objects. Three of the points are unstable (L1, L2, and L3) and two are stable(L4 and L5).

Collinear with the two large bodies are the L1, L2 and L3 unstable equilibrium points which can sometimes be useful places for spacecraft, eg SOHO.
