The planet Venus has revealed today a new impressive discovery that reveals a little more of the many unknowns that exist in relation to the closest planet to Earth. Thanks to a Japanese space probe, scientists have managed to discover for the first time what the weather is like at night on the planet Venus, an unknown that until now has raised many question marks for scientists.
The planet Venus had this discovery made thanks to a space probe called Akatsui, it has been in the orbit of the planet since 2015, but only now have the researches on the state of the weather at night been completed. Considering that the planet Venus is at a sufficiently large distance from the sun for life to survive, it also has meteorological phenomena in the atmosphere, but until now no one knew what happens there at night.
Planet Venus: INCREDIBLE Discovery Made in the Premiere
The planet Venus had the cloud movements analyzed in infrared light to discover information about the weather at night, and since the night lasts 120 earth days, the mission was complicated. The dark side of the planet Venus could not be studied from Earth, but only with a space probe, but even so, it was only recently that the images sent by it could be analyzed to observe the way clouds move in the atmosphere the planet at night.
"Small-scale cloud patterns in direct images are faint and often indistinguishable from background noise. To see details, we had to suppress the noise. What is surprising is that they go in the opposite direction to their daytime counterparts. Such a dramatic change cannot occur without significant consequences. This observation could help us build more accurate models of the Venusian weather system, which will hopefully resolve some long-standing, unanswered questions about Venusian weather, and possibly Earth weather."
The planet Venus has small cloud formations, but the great wonder came from the winds that circulate between the poles of the planet, moving in a direction opposite to those on the bright side of the planet. Although there is still no explanation for what is happening in the atmosphere of the planet Venus, scientists are still convinced that there is a major impact due to the way the air currents move between the planets, but more observations are needed to to be able to explain everything.
The planet Venus still hides many mysteries from humanity, and this is because its dark side is very difficult to monitor, and many extremely interesting secrets could be discovered there.
