No it is travelling further into space, about 10 million miles.
How does it travel, gravitational pull from the planets, small trusters and momentum.
The Cassini spacecraft traveled about 4.9 billion miles.
Mars and Earth do not rotate around the Sun simultaneously. Presently Mars is at it's furthest point from Earth @ 355 million km away, when the planets are perpendicular Mars is 67 million km away. When the planets align, it would take Elon Musk nine months to reach Mars.
They're doing it through TERB. We're a portal.
Images are sent back by radio waves which travel at speed of light.
So they would take just a few minutes to get back to earth
Where Is Webb? NASA/Webb
During Webb's launch, deployment and commissioning, 'WhereIsWebb' tracked Webb's 'flight' to L2 orbit, its state and progress during its deployment and commissioning process, and finally the release of its first images. This process is now complete. During this process, the page constantly...

Wait, I thought you said NASA was in a conspiracy with all climatologists over climate change.
Now you think there is another conspiracy about little green men?
NASA has twitter account for the Webb.
Apparently they can send 28.6 Gbytes of data out twice a day.
That would be a lot of green men porn, should they be in on your conspiracy.
There is no frictional resistance in space, once you get up to speed you just coast.
Additional fuel is only needed to slow down if you want to.
Also, it's not going to Mars, it's going to L2.

Riding in the shadow of earth so that the sun's light and energy doesn't impact the shots.
Cool.
Are you being serious or are you joking??
Could be serious questions asked by a grade 9 student.
I guess the telescope can at best detect presence of water vapour
in some exoplanets. I doubt the telescope can let us see astronauts
walking on Mars.
A couple of interesting things to consider:
1)How many theories will have to be revised based on what they find.
2)While some questions may be answered, new questions will be asked based on what they find.
