The sharp drop in the seabird numbers coincided with a climate shift that resulted in a reduced abundance of lipid-rich fish in the area, though other fish species remained available as food.

Venus Express launches.

Quote

The $260 million (220 million Euro) Venus Express probe is the ESA’s fastest spacecraft to develop to date, taking less than four years to move from the concept phase to launch, and its first aimed at Venus.
