Amazing what gravity can do. Isaac Newton had no idea when he invented it.

I believe there are asteroids called Trojans which have orbits tied to Jupiter, either 60 degrees ahead or 60 degrees behind Jupiter. So it would make sense for the same thing to happen with other planets, although Venus' relative proximity to the sun may make it harder to keep the asteroids under control.

Does the earth have any asteroids like this?
