venus

There might be life on Venus! They have found a bio signiture in the form of Phosphine, so as I interpret it, its not 100% certain that they have found life yet, but exciting news away...

I'm curious on this. Venus is roughly the same size as Earth. Our planet has a strong magnetic field helping to shield us. Venus has a very weak magnetic field, one that is caused by the solar winds itself. Mars has no magnetic field and has lost nearly all its atmosphere. Mars is smaller than...

I did a forum search for a similar thread but couldn't find much, so here goes: Assume for the purposes of this thread that all of Earth has united behind the idea of colonising Venus within a maximum of 500 years. Assume further that we have as a planet decided that Mars isn't worth it (for...

So I am getting ready for my second transit of Venus and since the last one my participation in solar astronomy has waned a bit. Get it? Waned? Anyway I just got my Orion built adaptor to attach my iPhone 4s to an eyepiece. Product details here And as I used to work for Coronado instruments...

Colour me skeptical but . . . http://rt.com/news/alien-life-on-venus-485/ :cool:

I've encountered someone who doesn't buy the conventional explanation for why Venus has such hellish conditions. It apparently upsets him for some reason. So has anyone ever heard of any alternate explanations? Would someone like to speculate wildly and irresponsibly? Might there really be...

It is often claimed that Venus surface temperature as high as 450 - 500 degrees Celsius suggests a carbon dioxide greenhouse effect (around 96.5% of its atmosphere consists of CO2). However, if one deals with the question in an unprejudiced, honest way, then the hypothesis of such a greenhouse...

A disciple of Immanuel Velikovsky named Robert Fritzius has joined a discussion at the Chicago Astronomer message board. Fritizius claims that flu epidemics come here from Venus. Fritzius is one of those featured at one of my favorite sites: http://www.crank.net. Once there, go to...

The atmospheric pressure on Venus is 90 times that of Earth. Why? Venus and Earth are about the same size and mass. Venus is 82% of an Earth's mass and 86% of an Earth's volume. One expects (correctly) that the gravitational potential at the surface of both planets to be about the same. No help...

This author goes to great lengths to bring you information of interest -- indeed, at this very moment he runs the risk of missing the final episode of 'Frasier' to insure the correctness of the following...ahem... Everyone's been hooing and hahing about the upcoming Venus Transit, and how...

A nice crackpot title isn't it? I'm talking about the Planet, not the Goddess of course. My objective is to propose / disclose how and why Venus died. Lets first have a closer look at the Planet: http://solarsystem.nasa.gov/features/planets/venus/venus.html Emphasis added. My hypothesis...
