🌌 How can the James Webb Space Telescope orbit something that isn’t even there? Welcome to Lagrange Point L2—a spot in space where the gravity of the Sun and Earth centrifugal force balance out just enough for JWST to orbit the Sun with Earth. Since L2 isn’t a physical object but an unstable point, JWST uses a halo orbit—like “surfing” a saddle in space. Constant motion keeps it stable, with small course corrections. Why L2? ✅ No eclipses ✅ Constant cooling ✅ Unobstructed view ✅ Stable communic

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
