OK, is L3 stable or not?
Some terrible writing here. The author seems to imply that a planet on the far side of the sun couldn't exist because it's not in a Lagrange point, but then proceeds to show an image which diagrams a Lagrange point (L3) exactly there.

No, only stable in 2 dimensions. L4 and L5 are the only ones stable in 3 dimensions.
