NASA stated why it made this decision. James Webb telescope's Lagrange point 2

The James Webb Orbit Telescope has completed its mission in space.

The James Webb Space Telescope is slated to replace Hubble.

The Lagrange point 2 in respect to the Earth and the Sun is where NASA's James Webb Space Telescope will orbit. But what exactly does it imply? What is Lagrange point 2 and why is it significant? The space agency recently tweeted about the orbit that the telescope would follow over the following six months, explaining the complexities. 'So...you've heard that the Webb telescope will be circling Lagrange point 2,' NASA stated in the opening tweet in a string. But what is it, exactly? 'How do you orbit something that isn't an object?' you might wonder. In a Twitter thread, the space agency explained Lagrange point. 'Lagrange points' are 'locations where the gravitational pulls of two enormous objects, such as the Sun and Earth, are in balance,' according to NASA.

It's the point at which the Earth's gravitational pull entirely counteracts the Sun's considerably stronger gravity. For the duration of its mission, the James Webb telescope will orbit near Sun-Earth Lagrange point 2 (L2). The orbit of James Webb has been set in such a manner that the sunshield on the telescope can always face all of these heat and light sources, according to researchers. This will keep James Webb's optics and instruments cool so that they may 'detect weak heat signals in the universe.'
