Webb Space Telescope Trajectory to Orbit

This diagram shows The James Webb Space Telescope's trajectory from Earth into its orbit around the Second Langrange point. Webb's orbit around L2 is a tilted oval shape about 500,000km (in the X direction, away from the Sun) by 1,500,000km (in the Y direction, 'side-to-side' of the Sun) by 800,000km (in the Z direction, 'above and below' the Sun).
