The James Webb Space Telescope is now on station in its halo orbit around L2. It feels like we launched it five minutes ago!
It's location is the second sun-Earth Lagrange point, L2. It isn't sitting in L2, but will be orbiting around it with a six month period.
Now there's a bunch of tweaking, but this summer, WE GET SCIENCE! I am so stoked!
