L2 (Lagrange Point 2)

Lagrange Point 2 (L2) is a spot in space located about 1.5 million kilometers from Earth, opposite the Sun, where Earth's gravitational pull and the Sun’s gravity balance out with the orbital motion of a satellite. This creates a stable zone where objects, like telescopes or satellites, can stay in a fixed position relative to Earth and the Sun with minimal fuel. L2 is ideal for space observatories because it provides a clear, unobstructed view of the universe while staying aligned with Earth’s position.
