    Wait till you hear about legrange points. These are points where 2 massive object (like the sun and earth) create a sort of pocket where a satellite can orbit “nothing”. I have massively simplyfied it, off course.

      Heard of them (UFOs sub, lots of heavy reading, skimming the physics parts) but never knew what they were. That’s a great understandable explanation, and fascinating, thanks.
