Uncover the mysterious surface of the planet

The latest science news in the Daily Mail said that high-resolution photos of the new Venus surface were obtained by astronomers thanks to the modern Radar system.

Decipher the mystery on the surface of Venus

To see through this ' veil ', satellite space probes such as NASA's Magellan spacecraft used Radar systems to capture detailed images of Venus's surface, even You can see mountains, mountains and volcanoes. Astronomers now combine the world's largest telescope called the Green Bank in conjunction with a radar transmitter at the Arecibo Observatory to capture sharp images of Venus's surface from Earth. .

Science news about Venus's latest image

Radar signals from the Arecibo observatory (Puerto Rico) penetrate both the atmospheric layers of Earth and Venus. The Green Bank Telescope, located in the western state of Virginia, obtains images that respond to a cycle called static bilateral radar. By comparing images taken at different times, scientists hope to finally be able to trace the active volcano on the planet. They believe that the resulting images will "reveal" other geological activities, helping scientists find clues about geological history and geological conditions below the surface of Venus.

Latest science news explores geology of Venus

The series of high-resolution radar images on Venus was taken in the latest in 2012. Previously, the researchers also took photographs of Venus at the Arecibo Observatory in 1988. Initially astronomers It is difficult to interpret the hidden 'Y'bí shape that covers the entire planet of' twin brothers' of the Earth . Last weekend, on March 8, researchers explained that the strange shape is due to high-intensity winds that distort the clouds to create a lasting effect. The finding also reveals similar processes that take place on other slow-rotating satellites in the solar system.

On Venus the wind travels strongly in the atmosphere around the planet from 4-5 days Earth at a speed of 360 km / h. But Venus took nearly 243 Earth days to complete its orbit, indicating that the winds were several times faster than the planet's rotational speed.

The winds of great speed remain constant at different latitudes, the closer they are to the poles the weaker. Therefore, the 'Y' phenomenon that scientists have observed is because the clouds covering the planet in different positions will be influenced by different wind speeds on Venus.
