This is way cool!
For anyone that doesn’t understand what L2 is and why we are putting a telescope there. It’s called a Lagrange point. There are 5 of them in the earth-sun system. It’s a gravitational parking lot about a million miles from Earth. There the gravity of the Sun and Earth balance each other so a spacecraft can stay in a loose orbit with only tiny fuel burns, instead of drifting away.
It will give the telescope an unobstructed view of deep space, constant sunlight, and a clear radio link back to Earth.
In Case You Missed It: This morning's launch of @NASA's Nancy Grace Roman Telescope.
[7:26am ET, August 30, 2026].
Will arrive at Sun-Earth L2 in Early December, to discover Exoplanets and observe the effects of Dark Matter & Dark Energy on the Universe.
@SnazzyLabs That’s awesome.! We’re on the waiting list. We went down and test drove one a couple of weeks ago. We were not disappointed aside from my wife complaining that the glass roof was too hot.
About 40% of American voters are abject imbeciles, unable to discern reality from fiction— believing the earth is flat, vaccines are dangerous, they’re “eating the dogs,” etc.
If you can’t tell that Trump is by far the most stupid person ever elected, you’re clearly one of them.
