This artist's concept shows the European Space Agency's ARIEL spacecraft on its way to Lagrange Point 2 (L2), a gravitationally stable, Sun-centric orbit, where it will be shielded from the Sun and have a clear view of the sky. NASA's JPL will be managing the mission's CASE instrument. Credit: ESA/STFC RAL Space/UCL/Europlanet-Science Office. |
