20 years ago today, our first mission to Venus was launched 🎉

#VenusExpress gave us a unique global picture of our nearest planetary neighbour and paved the way to #ESAEnvision.

On Oct 20th I imaged comet C/2025 R2, nice fuzzy streak with only 2 mins of integration. I heard yesterday that there was a fragmentation event and wanted to try to check it for myself. It was definitely much fainter, integrated for 5 mins total. The COBS light curve helps a lot. #Planetsci
