Aren't the Lagrange points places of orbital stability between _two_
bodies? How can you move the Moon into L1 when it helps define where
the L1 point is in the first place?


If the Moon were to be moved to the "Earth-Sun L1 point" I don't know
if it would stay there. Doesn't the stability require M1>M2 and M2>>M3?
Is the moon small enough in mass to stay between the Earth and Sun?
