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

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.

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?

I guess they don’t allow men to work on the JWST - 100% female ....

Apparently, it made it to where it was supposed to be, and everything is working. I gave it maybe a 50% chance that it wouldn’t or something of the hundreds of things it needed to happen wouldn’t work.

I’ll take my crow deep fried, thank you very much.

Question for the smart people here in FR (of which, I'm not)

If space is a vacuum and there is no atmosphere, what does a rocket engine “push” against to propel the vehicle? It's always been a head scratcher for me.

I can’t believe it’s been 30 days since the launch.
