Thanks Joe, there's a line in the explanation at that NASA link that says "The Webb telescope will be placed slightly off the true balance point, in a gentle orbit around L2" so I'm correct in what I took from the GIF. And I do understand that the Lagrange points orbit the sun, because the Earth does. What I can't visualise is how Webb orbits L2 (which itself orbits the sun, hence Webb orbits the sun). If there was a massive object at L2 for Webb to orbit that'd make sense but I reckon I'd have heard of it before, had that been the case. So I'm assuming the oscillatory nature of the Webb orbit around the sun, which gives rise to the 'orbit' around L2, is a clever solution of the three body problem or sumfink.
