Stepwise illustration of the orbits of a planet (e.g. Jupiter, blue) and an asteroid in 3:2 mean motion resonance with the planet (e.g. Hilda, purple). The planet's Lagrange points number 3, 4 and 5 are indicated as blue, green and red rings, respectively. During successive orbits the asteroid passes through or near the planet's L5, L4, L3, L5, L4, L3, etc. For more details see the Hilda family.
