>Are there any planetesimals librating about the L4 (60=B0 preceding) and L5
>(60=B0 following) Lagrangian points of Earth?
No, no objects have been found at the Earth's L4 or L5 points. People have
looked through, but nothing have been found there, at least not yet. The
only planets known to have trojan satellites are Mars and Jupiter.
