Euclid is such a cool mission and this first tranche is merely 0.4% of what we'll eventually be getting. Fingers crossed!

  Where did you hear the word tranche? People at work just started using it recently and I've been seeing it more as well. Why is this word trending right now?

      Heh, was looking up the wiki on the Baader Meinhoff phenomenon only to find out it sends you to your link. Guess that's an easier name to know it as :)

        I’ve been hearing everyone talking about this phenomenon. Is it trending now?

      Well it's trending where I work, that's why I asked. I can search Teams and it doesn't come up at all, until the last month. Bam, tranche this and that instead of "group", which has been normal for 40 some years.

    I started noticing it around the 2008/9 financial crisis because CDOs have tranches.

    It‘s a normal word in German but i‘ve seen it used by ESA in English in the context of this data release.
