Euclid is stationed at L2. I like to think it grabs a drink at the end of the day with other satellites out there like James Webb and Gaia. They discuss the day's discoveries.

How big approximately is this L2 for practical purposes? Sounds like it will be valuable space-estate one day.

Euclid is in orbit around L2 with a radius of around 1.5 million km (~1 million miles), so the spacecrafts are quite comfortable there.
