Webb's Orbit - Science@NASA
Webb orbits the sun 1.5 million kilometers (1 million miles) away from the Earth at what is called the second Lagrange point or L2. (Note that this graphic is not to scale.) James Webb Space Telescope orbit as seen from above the Sun's north pole and as seen from Earth's perspective.
What Does the Webb Telescope’s Orbit Look Like?
2022年1月14日 · James Webb Space Telescope orbit as seen from above the Sun’s north pole and as seen from Earth’s perspective. The James Webb Space Telescope will not be in orbit around the Earth, like the Hubble Space Telescope is – it will actually orbit the Sun, 1.5 million kilometers (1 million miles) away from the Earth […]
Webb's Orbit at Sun-Earth Lagrange Point 2 (L2) | Webb
2021年5月19日 · The James Webb Space Telescope orbits the Sun near Sun-Earth Lagrange point 2 (L2), approximately 1.5 million kilometers (1 million miles) from Earth. L2 is one of five Sun-Earth Lagrange points, positions in space where the gravitational pull of the Sun and Earth combine such that small objects in that region have the same orbital period ...

2018年5月14日 · Earth’s orbit around the Sun is the largest, taking up the majority of the width of this section of the graphic as a horizontal ellipse. The Moon’s orbit around Earth is far smaller, appearing to the right as a horizontal ellipse. Webb’s orbit at L2 is represented by a vertical elliptical to the right of the Earth and Moon.
