MOON Trojan objects exist. They are the Kordylewski clouds, small faint patches of dust, at the L4 and L5 points of the Earth-Moon system (not Earth-sun system). The Kordylewski clouds have been photographed, and have even been seen by the naked eye under total dark skies. They may be variable

Hi, In 1980, there was a search down to magnitude 14 that turned up nothing at the Earth's Trojan points. But there ARE Earth Trojans, or at least candidate objects. It takes a long series of observations to verify a true Trojan orbit, and they're doing that. In a search that is ongoing
