I had no idea its final destination was a legrange point thats so cool! I got confused though, I thought they were saying it was at the one between the sun and the earth (L1). But I guess its at the one behind the earth (L2)? Anyway so cool! Lagrange points always make me think of Liu Cixin :^) > The L2 point of the Earth-Sun system was the home to the WMAP spacecraft, current home of Planck, and future home of the James Webb Space Telescope. L2 is ideal for astronomy because a spacecraft is close enough to readily communicate with Earth, can keep Sun, Earth and Moon behind the spacecraft for solar power and (with appropriate shielding) provides a clear view of deep space for our telescopes. The L1 and L2 points are unstable on a time scale of approximately 23 days, which requires satellites orbiting these positions to undergo regular course and attitude corrections. https://solarsystem.nasa.gov/resources/754/what-is-a-lagrange-point/ https://solarsystem.nasa.gov/resources/754/what-is-a-lagrang... ^ cool lagrage point graphic and nasa explanation
