Who can possibly miss the chance of seeing some of our Solar System’s planets in the sky in the dawn? We can all consider ourselves lucky if we get that chance, even if we see the space objects with the ...
The planet Venus has become something of a forgotten world, despite the fact that it is nearer to us compared to Mars and, in some respects, more similar to Earth than the red planet. In terms of dimension and density, Venus ...
A recent piece of research adds to the increasing body of evidence suggesting Venus is volcanically active – a discovery that, if confirmed, will provide light on how volcanoes affect planetary development and livability throughout the universe. The study, which concentrates on ...
Ever wondered how sunlight is on other planets? Well, you may never know when you could actually come across some proof! Venus is well-known for its inhospitality. It’s a nightmarish planet, rough at edges, and apparently, the most reflective planet ...
Scientists finally know how’s the nighttime weather on Venus thanks to a new technique! Our planetary neighbor is quite fascinating, but it can be a real challenge for scientists, especially when it comes to weather. We’ve known very little about ...
Can anything live on Venus? Of course, the planet has scorching temperatures, a crushing atmospheric pressure, and so on, but it’s still one of the few rocky planets from our Solar System. The presence of the phosphine gas in the ...
As new research about Venus emerges, we learn that the planet is more intriguing than previously believed. Back in 2020, traces of the gas phosphine were discovered in Venus’s upper atmosphere. Such a finding offers enough proof of explosive volcanoes ...
At a first astronomical glance, Jupiter is nothing but a huge wasteland dozen times bigger than Earth. Our neighbouring planet is not even solid, as it’s made almost entirely of gases, such as hydrogen and helium. Common sense tells us ...
Venus’ extreme environment where no living creature from Earth would survive has captured the attention of astronomers for a long time. Even so, Venus is known as ‘”Earth’s twin” because of the fact that both planets have similar sizes and ...
Two new exciting space missions have just been announced by NASA, and we’ll finally return to Venus! As per NASA’s statement, both missions will try to understand how our planetary neighbour became what’s today: a hell-like world. How the space ...
New Parker data reveals quite the activity on Venus. During a short flyby at our planetary neighbour, NASA’s solar probe detected an incredible radio signal: a natural one. The event marks the first direct measurement of Venus’ atmosphere in about ...
The first complete look of Venus’ dust ring is now available thanks to the Parker Solar Probe. The images show our planetary neighbour’s dust ring for almost its entire 360-degree span around the Sun. Venus’ orbital dust ring is an ...
Even if the Parker Solar Probe has begun its journey to the Sun recently, it has already offered a great deal of data. Thanks to one of the probe’s cameras, the Wide-field Imager for Parker Solar Probe, or WISPR, we ...
Venus has created quite the buzz recently, due to one chemical element that keeps puzzling scientists’ work. Phosphine was detected on Venus back in 2017, but it wasn’t announced until last year. Many papers are trying to debunk or support ...
