Sailing into the new year ⛵️
Components for the next Ariane 6 flight #VA267 just arrived in French Guiana.
Sailing ship Canopée regularly calls in at Bremen, Rotterdam, Le Havre and Bordeaux to pick up #Ariane6 components, before reaching Kourou, the warmest and sunniest destination among these ☀️

BETA PICTORIS MIRI
I tried to reduce the brightness in the central region, but that was the best I could do; I wasn't even going to use the F770w filter.
Thanks, @melina-iras07572.bsky.social, for the recommendation to download the level 2 files.

So we are starting 2026 with a US military attack on Venezuela, the kidnapping of the head of state, and the likely backing of a US-friendly new leader (protected by US military) who will gladly sell all natural resource reserves to US companies. Henry Kissinger would be proud.
