Ah, great answer, thank you. Do you happen to know the approximate radius of JWST's halo orbit?
(Edit below, to answer my own question via wikipedia)
> The telescope will circle about the Sun-Earth L2 point in a halo orbit, which will be inclined with respect to the ecliptic, have a radius varying between about 250,000 km (160,000 mi) and 832,000 km (517,000 mi), and take about half a year to complete.
