Seems that every fascist movement needs it's own horst wessel.

ESA's JUICE spacecraft flies by Venus on its way to Jupiter's icy moons

During the wee hours of this morning (Aug. 31), a boxy spacecraft with solar wings in the shape of crosses flew right by Venus — if all went according to plan.

Unfortunately for the public, JUICE operators had to turn off the spacecraft's sensors during the probe's Venus flyby because of the intense heat of the amber-hued planet's environment. What does that mean? No images.

The next stop for the nearly 13,300-pound (6,000-kilogram) probe will be Earth yet again.

"JUICE will use the gravity of Venus this week to bend its orbit around the sun and gain speed relative to Earth without using fuel," ESA wrote in the Aug. 25 statement. "JUICE will use the Earth flyby in 2026 to further fine-tune its trajectory."

From there, the probe will conduct one more orbit around the sun, the team explained, before returning to (you guessed it) Earth a final time in January 2029. Only then can it start thinking about the culmination of its journey. It should settle in orbit around Jupiter in July 2031.

JUICE will study our solar system's creamsicle-colored gas giant, but also to gather data about three of the planet's largest moons — Ganymede, Callisto, and Europa. These three moons are believed to harbor oceans under their icy crusts, meaning they could be solid leads in astronomers' quest to find life beyond Earth.

Russia and the United States will have their own version of the Eurovision contest.

The Russian president will revive an old Soviet-era songfest called Intervision this month after his country was booted out of the Eurovision Song Contest back in 2022. Taking part in the inaugural event will be a number of authoritarian states with close ties to Russia, including China, Iran, and Belarus - as well as the United States.

In a bid to avoid any embarrassing empty seats at the concert, which will be hosted at the Live Arena in Novoivanovskoye near Moscow, Russian authorities have now put out social media adverts which promise to pay audience members to take part. Officials will carry out strict vetting of attendees to ensure political opponents and Ukrainian sympathisers are barred, anyone wearing yellow and blue clothing will be barred from entry.

Russia - who are widely expected to win - will be represented by pro-war patriotic signer Shaman, real name Yaroslav Dronov, 33. His girlfriend is Kremlin stooge Yekaterina Mizulina, 40, head of Russia’s Safe Internet League.

The 20 countries taking part in Intervision 2025 are Azerbaijan, Belarus, Venezuela, Vietnam, Egypt, India, Kazakhstan, Qatar, China, Colombia, Cuba, Kyrgyzstan, the UAE, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Serbia, the US, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, and South Africa. Ukraine has not been invited.

The United States - whose surprise entry was confirmed in June - will be represented by Brandon Howard, 44, rumoured to be Michael Jackson’s secret lovechild.

Intervision previously ran between 1965 and 1968, and later between 1977 and 1980, as the Warsaw Pact's answer to Eurovision.

In its heyday, its bizarre communist-era voting system involved TV viewers turning their lights on or off to cast votes, with the results measured by electricity consumption.

Before being booted out of the contest following the invasion of Ukraine, Russia participated in Eurovision from 1994 to 2021, winning in 2008 with Dima Bilan's ballad ‘Believe’.

No doubt great music will come of it.
