Venus – hot beyond the clouds and sulfuric acid

It is very hot planet. With dense atmosphere. And very high pressure. Lots of plains. And not high mountains and hills.

Happy Space Science Saturday!
The New Moon will be upon us May 27th so get your telescopes ready! This phase provides ideal conditions for observing faint objects in the night sky. During a New Moon, the Moon is positioned between the Sun and Earth, meaning very little sunlight is reflected off its surface, giving us darker skies for optimal stargazing.

Astronomers confirm rare retrograde planet orbiting between two stars | TechSpot…

Astronomers have discovered a remarkable planetary system that challenges long-held assumptions about where planets can survive... the system also hosts a giant planet locked in a gravitational tug-of-war between two stars... #science #space #astronomy #planets

I’m always blown away by the beauty of Pluto, and came across this again recently. There’s an obvious reason to love this pic, and NASA saved one of its best discoveries until last…

(23 May) Jupiter is shrinking and used to be twice as big, mind-boggling study reveals

Astronomers have calculated that the gas giant Jupiter used to be twice as big as it is now, based on the odd orbits of two of its many moons.

A cousin for Pluto? New dwarf planet candidate found
Astrophysicists say they've identified an object beyond the orbit of Neptune that's likely to qualify as a dwarf planet, alongside other trans-Neptunian objects including Pluto, the erstwhile "ninth planet."

The discovery of 2017 OF201 touches upon another ninth-planet contr
