Trojan points are the points labelled L4 and L5, highlighted in red, on the orbital path of the secondary object (blue), around the primary object (yellow).
Trojan asteroids of Jupiter (coloured green) in front of and behind the planet along its orbital path. Also shown is the asteroid belt between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter (white), and the Hilda family of asteroids (brown).

Trojan objects orbit 60° ahead (L4) or behind (L5) a more massive object. Both are in orbit around an even more massive central object. The best known example are the asteroids that orbit ahead or behind Jupiter around the Sun. Trojan objects do not orbit exactly at one of either Lagrange points, but do remain close to it, appearing to slowly orbit it.
