The James Webb Space Telescope has reached its new home at last. ... to update the description of L2 and to include comments from a NASA Live event and a news conference about JWST's arrival at L2.

James Webb Space Telescope and L2 Orbits. In case you have never heard of this thing, the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) is essentially the planned next generation Hubble Space Telescope.

The James Webb Space Telescope has begun its MCC2 maneuver, an insertion burn into orbit around L2 on Jan. 24, 2022. (Image credit: NASA) Webb has spent the past 30 days slowly and carefully ...

The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) is approaching its new home. On January 24, it will arrive at a point in space that scientists call Lagrange point 2, or L2.

The James Webb Space Telescope is very much a part of that exploration. ... In the case of JWST, though, L2 has a further advantage: it is on the side of Earth directly opposite the sun, ...

THE James Webb Space Telescope has discovered its first-ever exoplanet – a distant world hidden by the glare of its nearest ...

On January 24th, NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope reached its final destination in space roughly 1 million miles from Earth, where it will observe the most ancient galaxies and stars in the ...

[Related: The James Webb Space Telescope survived its first collision] The telescope is expected to last for a few decades. ... Right now, the telescope lies at the second lagrange point (L2), ...

The James Webb Space Telescope is now 90 percent of the way to its destination, Lagrangian point 2 (L2), where it will begin its 10-plus-year mission peering into the remote depths of the cosmos.

On Monday, JWST settled into its final orbit at the second Sun-Earth Lagrange point, or L2. This is a gravitationally stable point where the Sun and Earth’s gravity cancel each other out.

Some of the most productive orbiting telescopes operate at the sun-Earth Lagrange points L1 and L2. ... In addition, it's important to remember that current telescopes, such as Gaia and JWST, ...
