See title. This is a shower thought that popped into me while slowly waking up. I’m thinking, what if due to e.g. gravitational shenanigans, the pull on a planet is such that a planet stands relatively motionless in a fixed position towards its star?
Is that possible or am I forgetting some astronomy basics?
Assuming you could determine your position between the two stars with decent accuracy, you shouldn’t need a “honking big rocket” just to maintain your position. A small ion engine or cold gas thruster should suffice.
Depends how big a planet is…
