venus is Earth's closest neighbor just over 43 million kilometres away it's
always been an object of fascination for astronomers who believed it to be
similar to earth in 2005 easter launch the mission Venus Express and after
eight years of intensive observation we now know a lot more about this
mysterious planet in the early days of the solar system venus and earth must
have been very similar but then something happened and they took a
different route in its in its evolution but Venus has developing a completely
different way the temperature down on the surface is more than 450 degrees
celsius and the pressure of us pressure is 92 boss it's almost $TIME hundred
times more than the earth you have cloud set up there made up over and so for
Cassie in fact so it's very enough to place to be it and the best one of the
big questions on on Venus why did Venus go that way and why do we underscore
this way on Venus days last longer than $MONEY years with the planet taking 243
days to rotate on its own axis and only 220 days to go around the Sun and it
moves in opposite rotation to the earth with the Sun rising in the West and
setting in the East Venus also has other interesting characteristics not only is
the planet subject to strange violent winds that traveled up to 400 kilometers
an hour in its upper atmosphere but it also has massive hurricanes over 200
kilometres across permanently moving around the poles all this information
and large quantities of raw data about the planet have been generated by Venus
Express during its time in orbit
this has been distributed to the widest possible audience from experts to the
general public but why is it important to study Venus must be four fundamental
science Reasons to learn about not just Venus but about the solar system how it
evolved why is Venus different from other planets like glass and
and larger planets as Venus Express nears the end of its mission scientists
and making the most of the spacecraft's remaining lifespan by using it to make
close-up observations of the planet these maneuvers called aerobraking
involved taking daring plunges into the planet hostile atmosphere only a hundred
thirty kilometres above the planet's surface so apparently risky the
information gathered during these are giving us even greater insight into our
neighboring planet we are going so close that we actually sense the atmosphere as
a friction against the structure of the spacecraft and then that way we can
measure densities in this point in the atmosphere of Venus that we have not
been able to measure all those 80s will be in circling the planet is we also
measure magnetic fields with a magnetometer we measure energetic
particles that we find it's a very new type of measurements and very valuable
data were collecting these days so to the last Venus Express is going beyond
its original remit and providing us with yet more valuable information this
information not only helps us to understand the evolution of our solar
system but as the planet that most closely resemble the earth in its early
years being of the same size and formed at the same time understanding Venus
helps us to understand more about the potential future of our home planet
yeah
I had her
no TV coverage of the things and it man you got the black up now you're gonna be
the one getting a TV picture is still yet we are getting a TV picture now one
