The James Webb telescope


After launch, the telescope deployed on its 30-day, million-mile journey out to the second Lagrange point (L2). This video shows the deployment procedure, timeline, and location of the satellite during deployment.
  • Is this telescope just a more modern telescope than Hubble?
  • Why does it take 30 days to reach its orbit?
  • What's a Lagrange point?
  • Why did it launch from French Guiana in the Amazon rain forrest?
  • What is the sling shot effect?
Enquiring minds want to know while they do the math!
