Complex meteorology at Venus
Mars may get most of the news, but don’t forget there’s a spacecraft orbiting Venus too. New images released from ESA’s Venus Express spacecraft show new details about our twin planet’s atmosphere. These night-side infrared images reveal thermal radiation emanating from beneath the planet’s thick obscuring cloud deck. The clouds themselves are stretched out because of high-speed winds in the atmosphere.
