Probe reaches orbit around Venus

A little old news...

A European spacecraft went into orbit Tuesday around Venus on a mission to explore the mysterious atmosphere of Earth's nearest planetary neighbor.

...

Europe's space program also has a spacecraft orbiting Mars, while a third is on its way to land on a comet.

...

The space agency will use the spacecraft's seven instruments to search for clues about why Venus wound up with an atmosphere almost 90 times denser than Earth's and shrouded in clouds of sulfuric acid.

Looks like the ESA is doing a little science these days... Congrats!
