#GoodNeighborDay With @NASAWebb

Hey @NASARoman, won’t you be our neighbor? The #NASAWebb and Roman Space telescopes will both be orbiting L2, or Lagrange point 2 — one million miles away from Earth! #GoodNeighborDay Learn more about Lagrange points: https://go.nasa.gov/349tAdk pic.twitter.com/M9PpaZoX9o

Hi @NASAWebb! That’s right, L2 is a great place to be if you’re looking for a stable & fuel-efficient orbit, plus a beautiful view of the cosmos. L2 provides thermal stability that will help Roman view large swaths of sky smoothly over long periods of time! #GoodNeighborDay https://twitter.com/NASAWebb/status/1310638631145660416 …pic.twitter.com/cCTgEhUgFz

As an infrared telescope, #NASAWebb needs to stay super cold in order to see faint heat signals in space. Being at L2 allows Webb’s giant sunshield to always be between the telescope and the bright Sun, Earth and Moon.

Roman will be a near-infrared telescope with a much wider view than any other mission! It will study dark energy, exoplanets & infrared astrophysics, helping us discover the cosmic wonders of the universe. Happy #GoodNeighborDay @NASAWebb, catch you at L2! https://go.nasa.gov/3mXqeTB  https://twitter.com/NASAWebb/status/1310644177844072450 …pic.twitter.com/Sgsa7fZp8s
