In this talk I will explain the use of pseudo-holomorphic curves to study the circular planar restricted three-body problem. For mass ratios sufficiently close to 1/2 and energies slightly above the first Lagrange value, we show the existence of finite energy foliations whose binding orbits are two retrograde orbits around the primaries and the Lyapunov near the first Lagrange point. These foliations explain the existence of homoclinic orbits to the Lyapunov orbits. This is joint work with L. Liu.
