Planet venus was at the center of an incredible event last weekend, on the second day of Christmas, and that's because a spaceship from ESA and NASA passed by the planet again. This is the second spacecraft that passes by the planet Venus in the course of several months, the first of them having the name BepiColombo and heading towards the planet Mercury, but its mission is completely different, just like the one now.
Planet venus it was visited by a spacecraft sent by ESA and NASA to observe as closely as possible the sun in our solar system, and on its way to the star it passed by the cosmic body. The ship made a single flight in the orbit of the planet Venus, after which it continued its way to the sun that provides us with life, and it will not return soon, or ever, to the planet it just passed by.
Planet Venus: INCREDIBLE Christmas announcement from NASA and ESA
Planet venus had the atmosphere, and what is around it, analyzed by the spacecraft that ESA and NASA sent there, and everything to discover more information about it. The spacecraft has been traveling towards the sun for some time, and this visit to the planet Venus is just one of the important moments it will pass through in the next year, before reaching the star it will carefully monitor.
We're making our close approach of #Venus in our first #VenusFlyby! A planned series of gravity assists will bring #SolarOrbiter closer to the Sun and tilt its orbit in order to observe our star from different perspectives. https://t.co/Br48JIWAQE pic.twitter.com/AmhOgiKfkJ

Planet venus has also recorded a series of data regarding the magnetic field, and some of the particles that are in the atmosphere, or outside it, but those from NASA and ESA will not soon publish information about the discoveries. NASA and ESA need time to analyze all the data, and provide clear information about what they discovered about the planet Venus based on this recent visit, so it remains to be seen what we will learn from them in the future.
Planet venus it will be visited by other spaceships in the future, but for now there are not many details regarding the final plans that the space agencies have.
