Sep 10, 2013 at 19:40 comment added user4552 If I'm understanding the space.SE discussion correctly, this is about whether the system consisting of Sagittarius A* and our sun has Lagrange points at various places in the galaxy. In that case, the issue isn't the fact that our solar system is a compound object, it's that there are billions of other stars in the galaxy.
