2025 goes down as the ~3rd-warmest year on record (based on ERA5).

Our #JUICE spacecraft captured comet #3IATLAS during its active phase, showing its glowing coma, plasma tail, and maybe even a dust tail.

The full data will arrive in February, but here is a sneak preview from JUICE's navigation camera.
