A large group of asteroids sharing Jupiter's orbit around the sun, clustered in two curved clouds at the stable points sixty degrees ahead of and behind the planet.

The Jupiter Trojans are a large group of asteroids that share Jupiter's orbit around the sun, gathered around two of the stable Lagrangian points in that orbit: L4, sixty degrees ahead of the planet, and L5, sixty degrees behind it. They sit in two elongated, curved clouds around those points, with an average semi-major axis of about 5.2 astronomical units.
