Big step forward for space science today, with two new missions adopted into the #ESA science programme:
EnVision – probing Venus with imagers, spectrometers, & a synthetic aperture radar to characterise the atmosphere & surface of our nearest neighbour in unprecedented detail.
LISA – a space gravitational wave observatory to understand the physics of some of the most powerful events in the Universe, including the mergers of supermassive black holes.

s.th. different about our Solar Orbiter ? just for keeping track wih it 😉 it is now behind mars ( should come back to a nearer sun orbit when ?)
@enigma Yeah, I think it's because someone chose a reddish colour for Venus instead of white or pale yellow, say – I was fooled at first too, so had to check.
