| Oct 17, 2020 at 17:35 | comment | added | Gyro Gearloose | Jupiter in Lagrange point L1 will hardly lens some sunlight but instead block it. Maybe a fictional solution to global warming if we knew a way to put Jupiter between earth an sun. But if we ever knew, moving earth in a farther orbit would be comparably much easier. | |
