James Webb Space Telescope reaches observation post a million miles from Earth
The world’s biggest, most powerful space telescope arrived at its observation post one million miles from Earth on Monday, a month after it lifted off on a quest to behold the dawn of the universe.
On command, the James Webb Space Telescope fired its rocket thrusters for nearly five minutes to go into orbit around the sun at its designated location, and NASA confirmed the operation went as planned.
