Aren’t you confused ..? This is not the case with the venus we are familiar with. Then how can this be fixed ..? All those images were taken to study the surface of the venus and clouds in the UV and IR spectrum. These are the pictures of venus that we are familiar with on…
Mariner was the first spacecraft to be launched to study Mercury on November 3, 1973Launched by NASA, this robotic spacecraft was the first spacecraft to fly over multiple planets. What is a fly-by or gravity assist? This is a technique used to increase the speed of an exploration vehicle when it is sent into space….
We still have images of the surface of Venus provided by Soviet-sent spacecraft during the Cold War .In 1981, Venera 13 provided a few more vivid images. They (USSR scientist) Expect 30 minute ,But its held for two hours, much to their surprise.
Earth is an average planet with a diameter of 12,700 km. But a thousand Earths could be stacked on another planet, Jupiter. A thousand Jupiters in the sun. Or the sun could cover one million Earths with a diameter of 1.39 million kilometers. Look at how small the earth is in comparison. If the sun…
Fragments of the comet Schumacher Levy 9 (scientific name D / 1993 F2) collided with Jupiter on July 17, 1992. In a span of six days, 21 such fragments fell on Jupiter. The collision between two solar system objects was the first direct observation of the Schumacher Levy 9 collision. Schumacher discovered Levy 9 on…
