On Earth's night side lies the most prestigious parking lot in space: at L2, a spacecraft keeps pace with Earth while Sun and Earth stay conveniently together in one direction, easy to shield against with a single sunshade. That is why the James Webb telescope, Gaia and Euclid all work here, in cold, stable darkness with an unobstructed view of everything else.
