Crazy Free Throw, A Lagrangian Convergence. First time Observed on Earth.

This is a rare instance where Gravitational fields (EARTH SUN MOON) conspired-converged, reached an equillibrium, and stopped the basketball long enough for us to observe. (with a little help from the rim). This happened a few hours before the Solstice and the Full Lunar Eclipse coincided on the Evening of December 21 2010. It was an extremely rare occurrence. What was even rarer was the shot that coincided hitting the rim at the very moment when the Gravitational fields balanced out at those very Space Time coordinates. Enjoy you may never observe anything like that again. The Universe is full of Stable and Unstable Lagrange points. This was an example of an unstable one. The unstable ones are constantly in motion and can appear and disappear. en.wikipedia.org en.wikipedia.org en.wikipedia.org www.youtube.com en.wikipedia.org
