This came out about a year after JWST was launched, and it's stationed at a Lagrange point of the Sun and Earth. It might be related to the anniversary, although it would make more sense if it came out in a month, on the anniversary of the telescope reaching L2. Barmar (talk) 20:49, 27 December 2022 (UTC)

Missed opportunity to reference La Grange, Texas, the basis of the song by ZZ Top. RandalSchwartz (talk) 21:13, 27 December 2022 (UTC)

Can I use a subscript notation in the transcript?

Any clues where to find the code? Comic seems to have the numeral portions of "L1" to "L6" as subscripts. Is that a standard notation for Lagrange points, if so should we ualso use it in the main article? 172.68.66.102 06:14, 28 December 2022 (UTC)

Sure. Use HTML <sub> tags. 172.71.154.39 07:41, 28 December 2022 (UTC)
