[Lex Computer & Tech Group/LCTG] where is Webb

[Stephen Quatrano]

Great graphics, John.  I didn’t understand L2 orbit so I Googled it:

"The space telescope is destined to orbit a point in space known as Earth-sun Lagrange point 2 or L2, which is located nearly 1 million miles (1.5 million kilometers) away from Earth on the opposite side as the sun. The spacecraft covered the first 10% of that journey within 12 hours of launching.”  https://www.space.com/james-webb-space-telescope-trajectory-burn

"The James Webb Space Telescope will not orbit the Earth like Hubble but will in fact orbit the Sun. It will travel for approximately 30 days before reaching what is known as the second Lagrange point, or L2, 1 million miles away.” https://deepfieldfilm.com/discover/james-webbs-halo-orbit

Looking at the second animation, I’m still not sure I understand it… but I keep trying.
