I ran across the idea of ‘Trojan asteroids’ and ‘Lagrangian Points’ when googling info on our asteroid belt. This phenomenon was new to me but then again I know very little about astronomy. Anyway, it had me wonder about a recent thread on the formation of our moon and how unlikely it would have been for Earth to smash into another large object along its orbit.
My question is; could our early Earth have shared an orbit with a Trojan planetoid whose Lagrangian position was disrupted enough to send it on a collision course with eath?
