@cleoabram: There are secret parking spots in space… and one of them is really special. There are five locations where the gravitational pull from the Sun and Earth perfectly matches the force needed to move with them, meaning objects placed here tend to stay put. But one of them is home to many of our most famous telescopes. Why that one? We’re about to send a new one. To see that, follow along! #NASA #Roman #JWST #telescope #sky

Would it save fuel if we attached all the satellites that use the same Lagrange points?

We just proved the earth is round with that photo. Case closed!

Is it just one single point or a larger area? Cause if we sent up many telescopes how do they all fit there?

How big are these areas? Do the satellites have to be close lol

Okay, but how big are the Lagrange points?

Are there Lagrange points for other planets? like does mars have 5 similar points?

Put a bunch of giant mirrors at L1 to slow down global warming

how many do we telescopes do we need to send to start blocking out the sun?

Why didn’t you mention they’re called Lagrange points?

The other thing that limits the life of satellites at these points is the also accumulate micrometeoroids. JWST has gotten smacked a bunch of times. Just another thing designers have to plan for.

would you know how rockets work inspace (vaccums)🤔 there's newton's third law but the gases have nothing to push against. How does that work?

How, if at all, do Venus (and Mercury?) and Mars influence these Lagrange points? I would imagine there is some influence as those orbits aren't alligned with Earth's orbit.

Since L2 is dark, where do the satellites get their energy (no solar available)?
