• James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) Orbit 27.2.2021 • The James Webb Space Telescope will not be in orbit around the Earth, like the Hubble Space Telescope is - it will actually orbit the Sun, 1.5 million kilometers (1 million miles) away from the Earth at what is called the second Lagrange point or L2. What is special about this orbit is that it lets the telescope stay in line with the Earth as it moves around the Sun. This allows the satellite's large sunshield to protect the telescope from th

The James Webb telescope will not orbit the earth, instead it will orbit the sun. Imagine drawing a straight line from the sun to the earth and then extending this line by 1.5 million kilometers. This is the L2 Lagrange point. Just as the earth orbits the sun in ≈ 365 days, the James Webb telescope will also orbit the sun in ≈365 days. What this means is that at the L2 Lagrange point, the earth will always be between the telescope and the sun. And the distance between the earth and telescope wil

🚀✨ Why the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) Doesn’t Orbit Earth Unlike the Hubble Space Telescope, the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) doesn’t orbit Earth. Instead, it orbits the Sun at a special location called the Second Lagrange Point (L2), about 1.5 million kilometers away. Why it doesn’t orbit Earth: 1. Avoiding Earth’s Heat and Light 🌞 Earth radiates heat and light, which can interfere with JWST’s infrared observations. By staying far away at L2, JWST avoids this “thermal noise,” allo
