In galaxy news, the James Webb Space Telescope (meant to be NASA’s successor to the Hubble Telescope) completed its nearly million mile and month long journey, and arrived at its new home where it will spend the remainder of its life. Webb’s mission is to examine the first stars and galaxies by looking into the universe’s past...very cool stuff.
Home, home on Lagrange! We successfully completed our burn to start #NASAWebb on its orbit of the 2nd Lagrange point (L2), about a million miles (1.5 million km) from Earth. It will orbit the Sun, in line with Earth, as it orbits L2.
