 The telescope has reached its destination, orbiting the L2 point-one of several points in space where the gravity of the earth & sun balance. It's not technically stationary at L2, because that would pop its instruments into the sun occasionally. So far, the mission has been exactly as planned and hoped for; now, after an approximately 6-month cool down & claibration phase, the thing can start doing real science.https://www.space.com/james-webb-arrives-destination-l2
