Fox News
The James Webb Space Telescope arrived at its observation point on Monday afternoon.
"This mid-course correction burn inserted Webb toward its final orbit around the second sun-Earth Lagrange point, or L2, nearly 1 million miles away from the Earth," the agency said.
The final mid-course burn added a walking pace to Webb's speed – the push that was needed to send it to its preferred "halo" orbit around the L2 point.
