The James Webb Space Telescope’s orbit, viewed from above the Sun’s north pole and from Earth’s perspective, shows a unique path. Unlike the Hubble Space Telescope, which orbits Earth, the James Webb will orbit the Sun. Positioned 1.5 million kilometers (or 1 million miles) from Earth at a spot known as the second Lagrange point (L2), its orbit is special because it stays aligned with Earth as both move around the Sun. This positioning enables the telescope’s large sunshield to block the light a

Whew, we found parking! 🚗 And lucky for us, there's plenty of space here at our new home at L2, or the second Lagrange point. #ICYMI, yesterday Webb fired its onboard thrusters for nearly five minutes (297 seconds) to complete the burn that inserted itself toward its final orbit, nearly 1 million miles (1.5 million km) away from Earth: https://go.nasa.gov/3GddAbD Watch the video below to learn more about what makes L2 a great location for the most powerful space telescope ever built.

So…you’ve heard that the Webb telescope will be orbiting Lagrange point 2. But what even is that? Lagrange points refer to locations where the gravitational forces of 2 massive objects — such as the Sun and Earth — are in equilibrium. Webb will be located more specifically at Sun-Earth Lagrange point 2, or L2 for short. 1. Why send Webb to orbit L2? 😎 Shade: The Sun, Earth (and Moon) are always on one side. At L2, Webb’s sunshield can always face all of these heat & light sources to protect Web

Find out how pressurized helium helps keep the cryocooler of Webb’s MIRI instrument only about 7 Kelvin (-448 degrees F, or -266 degrees C) in the latest episode of Elements of Webb. ❄️ Credit: NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center | NASA's James Webb Space Telescope | Facebook
