L2 Final Insertion Burn will start at 2:00 PM ET - No live coverage I can find - Also - Scientists and engineers operating NASA's James Webb Space Telescope will answer questions about the mission's latest milestones in a NASA Science Live broadcast at 3 p.m. EST Monday, January 24, followed by a media teleconference at 4 p.m.

Nothing. Once it finds “42” all the stars will go out.

I...hope that’s a joke.

It is, it’s been making the rounds🙂

[zeestephen]

Sam...

Your Goddard Space Flight Center link is not working.

[telescope115]

Webb has arrived at L2!

[Mouton]

I wonder what we do when it sees a Borg cube coming this way?

Government mandated racial diversity.

[Steely Tom]

They're saying the final course-correction burn is done and JWST is in orbit around L2.

Orbital Insertion Burn a Success, Webb Arrives at L2.

[brownsfan]

Right, but the ground crew is diverse, and that’s what matters.

[Steely Tom]

Very good! I love it!

[WMarshal]

They will determine that stars have 52 genders.

Nice. Forwarded to my buddy who did ground systems for the shuttle program in the mid-80s.

Odd. It works when I click on it;

I always thought you had to ‘orbit’ around a point of mass. L2 is just a point in space. Where is the gravitational pull for Web to orbit around? What keeps it from just flying off?

[Track9]

Give them the address to DC.

[zeestephen]

Your link re-set to Where Is Webb, which just sends raw data, or used to, because the cruise speed and temps have not changed for two hours.

I thought you had live coverage from Goddard.

[Mouton]

yes!
