Conditions on Venus are extraordinarily harsh: ~100 atmospheres of pressure, temperatures of 475° C (890° F) and the chemical actions of sulphuric acid. Under these conditions, common materials like aluminum and glass soften or melt, titanium and magnesium can combust, and organic compounds can...
Found in deep waters in the western Pacific Ocean, the 20–35 cm-long delicate-looking sea sponge (right) Euplectella aspergillum –also known as Venus’s flower basket – has a hidden strength. Its skeleton is firmly attached to the sea floor by thousands of glassy silica “spicules”, ...

"The poles are terra incognito. It's like the Earth 150 years ago—nobody had been at the poles," Sami Solanki, the principal investigator of the spacecraft's PHI instrument and director of the Max Planck Institute for Solar System Research, said at the press conference. "There will be...
of our long taught ideas about planetary science have recently been proven completely wrong. Did you know that The Gas Giants on the outside of our solar system and the surface of the Planet Venus are DRASTICALLY different than what I was authoritatively taught about them as a boy in school...
Terrestrial planets are planets with a solid surface, often made up of rock or metals. These types of planets also have few moons, a molten core, and can have surface features like valleys, mountains, and volcanoes. The terrestrial planets: Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars, sized to scale...
work surface with the inside facing up. Place a cable tie on the base plate (flat-side down) with the head near the center hole and lined up with one of the marks corresponding with a feed hole and perch slot. The tail of the cable tie should extend past the edge of the base ...
