But L2 is just one point
- CamperBob2 5y agoThat's an abstraction. In reality, what we call "L2" is an orbit around the L2 point. No shortage of room.
- loonster 5y agoI was thinking since the point is so unstable, the orbit must be extremely small... Boy was I wrong. The orbit is about the same size as the moon makes around the earth.
