The James Webb Space Telescope has begun its MCC2 maneuver, an insertion burn into orbit around L2 on Jan. 24, 2022.

The overall deployment process has been anxiety-inducing, for it includes hundreds of potential single-point failures that could each spell disaster for Webb. But despite any nerves, Webb has made it through deployment spectacularly, and its arrival in orbit around L2 is another huge milestone to check off.

thoreauawhelan Lets go!! Find them aliens already!

Can some knowledgeable person tell me what it's orbiting around? I know it's at L2 but doesn't it need some gravitational 'well' to orbit round in order to create the circular path that it is moving in at L2?

After this lounch we have extra knowledge about space.

Kooooooool Guys 👍💯💗💕🙏

James Hong: An actor's guide to longevityDuring his 92 years, the character actor has racked up more film and TV credits than nearly anyone. Even more impressive, he did so while confronting demeaning stereotypes in Hollywood. Driven by my curiosity I took the first step by trying with just $3000 and it went well I can now boast of earning even in my sleep ! I received $21,900 in just 7 days with Geoffrey100k big trouble in little china Hong is as recognizable as the Hollywood sign. Alas, he's employed in an industry that thrives on stereotypes. Of late, Hollywood hasn't changed appreciably, it still uses the old formula for who's star material & who's hero material, and who isn't, all based upon stereotypes.
