Its final destination will be the “L2” Lagrange point, around a million miles from Earth but in an orbit that – along with its five-layered sunshield – will protect JWST from the light and heat of the Sun and enable it to pick up weak mid-infrared signals. The L2 position also means that, unlike Hubble, which goes ...
