The @PLATOSatellite was already built with #LEGO bricks by @AstroDave2. We are looking now for a #Gaia LEGO model!

These #Kepler planets are about 1000 light years away from Earth. I will be tasked to find planets orbiting stars more nearby! #PLATO

Another satellite of ESA will also be in a L2 orbit - #Euclid (@ESA_Euclid) after its launch from Kourou 2020 - also with a Soyuz-Fregat!

@PLATOSatellite But I hope to met the Webb Telescope (@NASAWebbTelescp) there. I will find very interesting targets for the JWST. #PLATO

In 2024 #Gaia will most likely not in its L2 orbit anymore. But #Gaia will explore my one million target stars quite well. Thanks! ;) #PLATO

Good morning! I had my first dream tonight! I was launched from Kourou by a Soyuz-Fregat and was travelling to my orbit around L2! #PLATO
