They’re just having fun out there. As long as they stay in the shadow of the earth, there’s nothing to fear.

Fun fact: you can set up a stable orbit exactly over the line of sunrise-sunset, but you can't stay in the umbra forever

JWST out there chilling at our L2 Lagrange Point would like a word. (I know it's a completely different kind of orbit)

JWST has solar panels and an umbrella, it's in sunlight

Ziglin@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 62d

You're right I thought it was much closer to the L2 point but I suppose parking it there would be rather difficult (the energy required should go against infinity after all).

So technically it is very much possible to hide from the sun, it just needs some extra energy.

Literally the first telescope did not have mirrors in it.

mrmisses@lemmy.world · 7 pts · 63d (1 reply)

Yeah but back then vampires weren't invented yet

Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 63d

Oh, vampires were around. They just didn't have a space program yet.

How does he have a curved telescope with no mirrors

LastYearsIrritant@sopuli.xyz · 4 pts · 62d

Prisms, they exist and are usually used in birding.

Or fiber optics, which are usually used in survey telescopes.
