@jameswebbspace.bsky.social
The James Webb Space Telescope was funded through an international collaboration, with the majority of the cost, around $9.7 billion, coming from the United States, with contributions from the European Space Agency (ESA) and the Canadian Space Agency
It does not orbit around the Earth like the Hubble Space Telescope, it orbits the Sun 1.5 million kilometers (1 million miles) away from the Earth at what is called the second Lagrange point or L2.
