The two closest to the
Earth planet - Mars and Venus - once had vast oceans, extending over many
millions of square kilometers. But all the planets with liquid water on the
surface is very fragile. Venus could not keep their oceans, and they vanished
into space. Recently we learned that Mars lost most of their water, then it
turned into a dry and cold desert.

Constantly changing vortex over the south pole of Venus
As a new study shows, a
huge cyclone formed over the south pole of Venus, is divided into parts, and
then going back into one.
Observation of the
planet for the past six years has allowed concluding that the "long-lived"
storm is constantly evolving. This fact led to a greater number of issues
related to the unusual weather conditions on the planet.
In 2006, when the
spacecraft ESA "Venus Express (Venus Express, VEX) came to Venus (this
was in April), then over the South Pole was seen resembling a cyclone
structure,

Venus, ionosphere swells in its night side like comet
The ESA’s some unique
observations of Venus through a period of low solar wind pressure, discovering
that the planet's ionosphere swells in its night side, like the tail of a
Comet.
The ionosphere is a weekly
electrically charged gaseous region far above the main body of the planet's
Atmosphere. The form and are partially controlled by the internal magnetic
field of the planet.

Have we caught in the act to the Venusians volcanoes?
The awareness of sulfur
dioxide in the dense atmosphere of Venus is more than a million times higher
than that found on Earth. On our planet, almost all of this pungent and toxic
gas comes from volcanic eruptions.
For this reason, it is
thought that the detected sulfur dioxide in the upper atmosphere of Venus, well
above its cloud cover, must have been recently pumped from lower bounds.

Three planets in a row
Currently seen the
planets Mercury, Venus and Saturn in the morning sky before sunrise the third
December is the three planets in a row.
Currently performing
the three planets Mercury, Venus and Saturn a cosmic dance in the morning sky
before sunrise. Thus stood Venus and Saturn very close together on 27th
November, but clouds blocked unfortunately, the view of the planet parade.
If it is clear weather
on Monday, the 3rd December, it will be possible to see Mercury, Venus and
Saturn in a row with Mercury at the bottom, Venus and Saturn in the middle at
the top.

Chasing clouds on Venus
Often spotted clouds
blue sky of Earth, but Venus is never clear. This planet is permanently
surrounded by a solid covering of carbon dioxide and sulfur dioxide, about 20
kilometers thick.
This image, taken by
the European spacecraft Venus Express on December 8, 2011 when it was at about
30,000 miles from Earth, shows the top of the clouds of Venus in ultraviolet
wavelengths.

Scientists have built-up a geological map of Venus
U.S. and Russian
planetary scientists developed the first complete geological map of Venus and
presented it to the third Moscow Solar System Symposium on Space Research
Institute (IKI) RAS.
"The map has
helped us to find out what life in the earth, there were two periods of Venus -
tectonic and volcanic his descendant. According to our calculations, the"
morning star "is quite young - the average age of rocks on the surface is
about 500 million years," - said one of the authors cards, Mikhail Ivanov
of the Institute of Geochemistry, Vernadsky (Vernadsky).

Analemma Rising Sun with Venus transit
An analemma is shaped
curve "8" you get to mark the position of the Sun at the same time
every day of the year Earth. In this case, the 17 photographs taken at 02:31 TU
between 2 April and 16 September are half the analemma curve. The photos look
east, toward the rising sun and the Caspian Sea, from the harbor promenade of
Baku in Azerbaijan.
Dates mentioned,
covering roughly the period between the equinoxes of 2012 (pictured at right),
ie, between March 20 and September 22, match the shots in which the Sun was
closer the horizon. The solstice in the northern hemisphere summer, occurred on
June 20, corresponds to the upper left of the "8" when the sun was at
its maximum declination north.

Venus, Jupiter and Aldebaran in the sky line up in July
The two brightest planets in the solar system, Venus and Jupiter will shine together in the sky at night and the dawn of the first weeks of July , as reported by NASA. To observe this spectacle experts have pointed out that one need only look to the east. On Wednesday, Venus became visible for the first time, going through the exact center of a large group of stars that is located 153 light years from the Earth (the cluster of the Hyades). Thus, in the coming days, if you use binoculars, you can see by the planet dozens of stars scattered in the sky.

Reports for Venus transit 2012
2012 Venus Report from
Caracas, Venezuela, had totally clear skies during the event. I watched in the
company of my family and from my house, where we could see the sun all
afternoon until sunset on the horizon itself. The group indicated we could
observe with a telescope reflector 8 " with white light filter. Also use
the classic lenses eclipse of 1998 that gave Venezuela all the total eclipse of
February of that year. Of which had 4 that had not been used, and the glass
solder # 12 and # 13 for the observations without telescope.

Sunrise at Uranus and Venus
Sky watchers will have an asymmetrical
opportunity to spot the planet Uranus, because it will be located very close to
the brilliant planet Venus in the sunrise sky.
You can easily spot
Venus as the brightest article in the sky just before sunrise, but it will be
better to be up a little earlier just as Venus clears the eastern horizon, so
that the sky will be as dark as possible. This will help you to spot tiny
Uranus, just within range of the naked eye under perfect conditions, but most
of the time requiring binoculars or a small telescope to spot.
NASA arranged to watch the transit of Venus until 2117
NASA and other EU
institutions are arranged to watch the transit of Venus between 5 and 6 June,
with dozens of activities to capture the best images from this moment not ensue
again until 2117. The transit occurs when Venus passes directly between Earth
and the Sun, which will see the planet as a tiny dot gliding slowly across the
sun king, a phenomenon that was seen by astronomers as Galileo Galilei.
Scientists from the sixteenth and seventeenth observed transits of Mercury and
Venus, the two planets "inside", to measure the distance from Earth
to the Sun in an effort to estimate the size of our solar system.

Venus
The second planet Venus
in our solar system is the closest to Earth in accumulation and dimension, is
nearly round, no substantial destruction. It is the brightest star in the sky
after the Sun and the Moon. It is visible after sunset or before departure at
no great distance from it, why is only visible during the first hours after
sunrise and evening star, or during the last hours before the sunrise as
morning star.
The outside of Venus is
a real hell, enclosed by a thick fatal cloud cover; temperature is 500 ยบ C,
organism responsible greenhouse. This defines it as the planet with the highest
temperature of the solar system and also the most volcanic.

The planet Venus will pass in front of the Sun
The planet Venus will pass in front of the Sun, in a
unique show that will be watched by millions of people from almost all the Earth
(between 22:09:30 hours June 5 and 4:49:35 pm of June 6), with the exception of
some countries like Chile, Argentina, Bolivia, Uruguay, the Guiana’s and most
of Brazil, as well as Spain, Portugal and some African countries.
It is an event not to be repeated during the life of
anyone on Earth, as the next transit of Venus will occur in 2117.Required to observe a telescope or binoculars at
least, as the shadow of Venus is too small to be observed with the naked eye. This is a serious danger, and to observe the Sun with a telescope can
cause severe eye damage, so it is recommended telescopes equipped with special
filters, spraying or, safer still: follow the internet.
