On the occasion of April Fools' Day, this week's Gaia First Look Report contains a perfectly serious-looking Section 3.2, entitled "Direct imaging of the ice contaminant on Gaia's M3B mirror". Playing a practical joke on their colleagues, Gaia's First Look Scientists present a nonsensical procedural idea and experimental result, including an image depicting a frosty rain puddle in a cornfield near Heidelberg, Germany.
