Hi, Owen,

 

Seems we both have our eyes on the sky, this morning.

 

As I understand it the animation, the satellite goes around the sun  with the 
earth for about six months and then drags the earth into the sun, leaving us to 
fry there while it continues a safe orbit around the sun.  Nice going, Webb!  
Best news ever. Finally, a reason not to worry about the 2024 election.

Subject: [FRIAM] Orbit - Webb/NASA

 

The Webb telescope is soon to launch. There are lots of articles but none so 
clear on both its orbit and its incredibly complex deployment. I found this 
which does a good job:

It has two good animations on the orbit and on the deployment.
