minus-square0x4E4F@infosec.publinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·11 months agoHave no idea how this works… there is no gravitational pull at the L2 point, it’s just an empty point in space 🤨.
minus-squareSneezycat@sopuli.xyzlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·11 months agoThere is gravitational pull, from both the Earth and the Sun. The JWST is orbiting the “earth-sun system” if you will. You can read more about Lagrange points here.
minus-squarePM_ME_FAT_ENBIES@lib.lgbtlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·11 months agoYeah but it’s not at the L2 point, it’s spinning in a circle around L2.
minus-square0x4E4F@infosec.publinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·11 months agoYes, my point exactly. There is no mass at the L2 point, so how can it spin around it. Others explained it though, it makes sense now 👍. PS: What are enbies 🤨?
