Halo orbit

A halo orbit is a type of orbit that goes around something, like a planet or a star. A spacecraft in a halo orbit circles a planet or star over and over, but not directly above it. Instead, it's like the spacecraft is bouncing around the planet or star like on a trampoline, so it goes in a wide circle around it. This type of orbit helps keep the spacecraft in a stable position so it can observe the planet or star from the same spot over and over.
