The vehicle discovered a wide variety of heavy elements, but this is the first evidence of the presence of sulfur * The rover will tour the south pole of the moon for two weeks and look for signs of water ice
Image 1. Topography and SAR image of the research area on Venus. Color indicates altitudes, measured relative to the planet's mean radius from Magellan's reticulated altitude data. The X and Y axes represent geographic longitude and latitude of the planet. From the study.

A new analysis of data from the XNUMXs has proven that volcanoes are still erupting on Venus today

The article "Surface changes observed on a volcano in Venus during the Magellan mission" describes the analysis of the observations in which surface changes were discovered on the Sif Mons volcano during the Magellan spacecraft mission in 1991-1994

The Envision mission will not have much fuel, so it is going to perform an atmospheric braking on Venus

The project's research director on behalf of the European Space Agency: "The flight on Ariane 6 will not allow all the extra propellant that would be necessary to lower the orbit. Instead we will slow ourselves down by making repeated passes through the upper atmosphere of Venus, lowering to 130 km from the face of the planet"

Has a chemical marker for the possibility of life on the surface of Venus been discovered?

Astronomers have discovered a rare element - phosphine - in the clouds of the planet Venus. On Earth, this gas is only produced in industry or it is emitted by bacteria living in an oxygen-limited environment
