DUBING the June 19, 1964, close approach of Venus, radar observations at 410.25 Mc/s were made using the 250-ft. Mark I radio telescope at Jodrell Bank. Echoes were first obtained at full strength on June 5 and continued at intervals until July 26. The equipment 1 was basically that ...
New analysis of images taken by ESA's Venus Express orbiter has revealed surprising details about the remarkable, shape-shifting collar of clouds that swirls around the planet's South Pole. This fast-moving feature is all the more surprising since its centre of rotation is typically offset from ...
Sun (225 days). Even more strangely, therotation appears to be slowing down; Venus is turning 6.5 minutes more slowly in 2014 than in the early 1990s. One theory for the change could be the planet’s weather; its thick atmosphere may grind against the surface and slow down the rotation....
In 2016, NASA announced that it was planning a rover, the Automaton Rover for Extreme Environments, designed to survive for an extended time in Venus's environmental conditions. It would be controlled by a mechanical computer and driven by wind power. ...
This then is transmitted from each person unto the consciousness of the Earth moving out of its rotation into the higher realms, going back to the Source. When it moves into this existence, it then returns back to Gaia and each of you. ...
Japan would be known as the Land of the Setting Sun if Earth had the same rotation. Venus' Toxic Clouds The planet, although it is within the Goldilocks zone, that being not too cold and not too hot to support life, the atmosphere is extremely toxic. In addition to it being toxic, ...
day1.6deg/day to maintain the apocytherion inside the planet’s induced magnetotail (recall that the orbital period of Venus is roughly 225days225days, so 360/225=1.6deg/day360/225=1.6deg/day), while in a geocentric case, the required rotation rate is slightly less than 1deg/day1deg/...
as well, but in the case of Venus it takes only four days. The origin and motor of this superrotation is so far unknown, but the numerous waves present in the planet's atmosphere may play an important role. A study has just identified the nature of these waves for the first time. ...
The best models for how Venus' atmosphere behaves and circulates, known as Global Circulation Models (GCMs), predict super-rotation to occur in much the same way on Venus' night side as on its dayside. However, this research by Peralta and his colleagues contradicts these models. ...
These results are qualitatively consistent with the well-known superrotation of Venus’ atmosphere, which is sixty times faster at the cloud top level than at the surface. GCMs have also been able to demonstrate the role of the thermal tides in the vertical transportation of angular momentum ...
