Reply to comment by UmbralRaptor in Is it possible for two planets to orbit each other in a way where Planet A is tidally locked to the sun while Planet B is in geostationary orbit on the dark side of Planet A, thus putting Planet B in a constant total solar eclipse? by FenrirButAGoodBoy
Doesn't the jwst balance itself on the l2?

Sort of. JWST's halo orbit is around the L2 point instead of at it, and requires the occasional correction.
(way around it, Earth never gets in front of the sun: https://jwst-docs.stsci.edu/jwst-observatory-characteristics/jwst-orbit)
