$10 billion dollar telescope reaches magical spot in space

The video discusses a telescope's mission to observe distant stars and planets. It has reached Earth's LaGrange Point 2, a stable position 1.5 million kilometers from Earth, where gravitational forces balance. This allows the spacecraft to maintain its position without drifting. After arriving, the telescope fired its thrusters to stop moving away from Earth. Scientists will calibrate its devices and mirrors until May, with the first images expected in June. The telescope can look back 13.7 billion years to when the first galaxies were forming.

What is the primary mission of the space telescope mentioned in the video?

• To study the Earth's atmosphere

• To observe stars and planets in distant solar systems

• To explore the surface of Mars

• To monitor weather patterns on Earth

What is the significance of Earth's LaGrange point 2 for the space telescope?

• It provides a stable position relative to Earth

• It is the farthest point from the Sun

• It is the closest point to the Moon

• It allows the telescope to orbit the Sun

How far is LaGrange point 2 from Earth?
