JWST’s current radial velocity away from Earth is just 468 mph, with 20900 miles to go. It loses a few dozen mph per day at this point; Earth’s gravitation pull is about one-millionth what it was when it was launched.
Where is Webb?

Getting crowded at old L2. Two satellites already parked there.
Funny, thought getting those two up there would have been a big deal, not heard of it until Webb was on the way.
I’ve been checking it’s progress at least a dozen times a day, I can’t wait to see its first successful pictures.
One million miles is nothing in space.
Considering a light year is close to 6 trillion miles.
When it comes to stars, all that we see is a dot.
Build a bigger telescope, you can see a bigger dot...
