Hello out there, @NASAWebb! 👋 Today, Webb entered its orbit around Lagrange point 2, or L2. That’s about a million miles away, and a whole lot farther than Hubble’s low-Earth orbit at just about 340 miles (547 km) up. Why do these two telescopes have such different orbits? ⬇️ https://t.co/cLoQEnCe12

Webb and Hubble have different abilities, which means they also have different orbits! It’s just another way the two telescopes’ complementary abilities will help us put together a broader understanding of our universe.

How does @NASA communicate with faraway spacecraft like @NASAWebb? The giant antennas of the Deep Space Network are the vital link to robotic explorers venturing beyond Earth, helping our understanding of the universe, solar system & our place within it. https://t.co/KtvUFj4cLB https://t.co/shpPfBi01F

The James Webb Space Telescope fired two thrusters and slipped into orbit around a point in space nearly a million miles from Earth Monday where it can capture light from the first stars and galaxies to form in the aftermath of the Big Bang. https://t.co/qs5MPxwddL https://t.co/BmSGeF9w0E
