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.

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

Literally the first telescope did not have mirrors in it.
mrmisses@lemmy.world · 7 pts · 63d
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

Prisms, they exist and are usually used in birding.

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