Firstly, the space agency must develop a battery that can withstand Venus’ hellish conditions.

You may be surprised to learn that humans have sent several landers to Venus’ surface. The Soviet Venera missions, for example, transmitted the first-ever image from another planet on October 20, 1975, after sending its Venera 9 lander to the surface of Venus.

That mission lasted less than two hours on the planet’s surface due to the immense atmospheric pressure and scorching temperatures on Earth’s so-called evil twin.

And now we’re rethinking what we know about the ancient universe.

Three Super-Earths and two Super-Mercuries, a type of planet that is extraordinarily rare and distinct, haʋe Ƅeen found in a star systeм Ƅy astronoмers. Super-Mercuries are so uncoммon—only eight haʋe Ƅeen found so far—that they are extreмely rare.

ESPRESSO’s spectrograph detected two ‘super-Mercury’ worlds in the star systeм HD 23472. Astronoмers haʋe discoʋered that these planets are extreмely rare. This study, puƄlished in Astronoмy &aмp; Astrophysics, looked at how the coмposition of tiny planets ʋaries with planet position, teмperature, and star attriƄutes.

The reason for oƄserʋing this planetary systeм, according to Susana Barros, a researcher at the Institute of Astrophysics e Ciências do Espaço (IA) who led the project, is to characterise the coмposition of sмall planets and to study the transition Ƅetween haʋing an atмosphere and not haʋing an atмosphere.

They’re far bigger than was believed possible for galaxies so soon after the dawn of the universe — leaving scientists stunned.

The presence of such massive galaxies lurking in the early Universe contradicts current cosmological models.

Europa had features that astronomers couldn’t previously quite figure out.

Europa had red stripe features that astronomers couldn’t previously quite figure out. But it ends up it may be an unusual form of brine and fodder for future studies.

Arctic and save Greenland’s glaciers.

George Soros proposes geoengineering project to save Greenland’s glaciers.

Less problematic geoengineering already is underway with CO₂ direct air capture. But more controversial sunlight blocking is being proposed.

With major advancements in space optics over the last 20 years, ultrahigh-bandwidth signals now regularly ping back and forth over great distances, providing a communications canopy that extends over the entire globe.

A huge planet that has never been seen by astronomers could be lurking, almost invisibly, at the dark edges of our solar system, some scientists believe.

By 1,846, astronomers had pinpointed all the eight main planets – and have since found several other ’dwarf planets’ including Pluto.

But the search goes on for the mysterious ‘ninth planet’ which is thought to sit far beyond Neptune in our solar system, said space expert Sara Webb.
