NASA readies for trip to Venus as planet dazzles in the night sky.

NASA is preparing to explore Venus, Earth's "evil twin," with its DAVINCI mission in 2029. The mission will involve a probe doing fly-bys of the planet and taking pictures of its atmosphere, followed by a probe being dropped on the planet to gather data on its atmosphere and deploy a high-resolution camera. Venus is known for its harsh conditions, including high temperatures, crushing pressure, and acidic clouds. The data gathered by the DAVINCI mission could help us understand what made the planet the way it is and potentially provide insights into Earth's future.

Don't Miss It: Venus Shines Brightest This Weekend

Venus, the hottest planet in the solar system, will be at its highest point in the sky on June 4, making for great viewing during the evening hours. Although often called Earth's "twin," Venus is a "hellish world" with surface temperatures hot enough to melt lead. NASA's upcoming DAVINCI Mission to Venus aims to collect unprecedented detail and information about the planet to help solve the mystery of how it became a smoldering terrestrial sphere. Sunday's dazzling view of Venus is a great opportunity for sky gazers to spot our planetary neighbor as it burns alongside our spinning world.

Venus to Shine Brightly in Weekend Night Sky

Venus, Earth's closest planetary neighbor, will be at its highest point in the night sky on June 4, making it easier to view with telescopes. Known for its excessive heat and thick, toxic atmosphere, Venus is an "unlikely place for life as we know it," but NASA says it may have looked similar to Earth billions of years ago. Throughout June, Venus and Mars are getting closer to Earth, making them easier to view. NASA will soon launch its DAVINCI mission to explore the surface of Venus and learn more about the planet.

Catch Venus' Bright Weekend Appearance in the Night Sky

Venus will be at its highest point in the night sky this weekend, offering dazzling views of our sister planet. Despite being the hottest planet in our solar system, exploration of Venus has been limited due to its extreme heat and crushing air pressure. However, NASA's upcoming DAVINCI mission aims to explore the top of Venus's atmosphere and drop a probe to the surface in 2031 to provide about 17 minutes worth of data.

Rare Images: Surface of Venus Captured for the First Time.

The only photos of the surface of Venus were taken by Soviet scientists during the Venera missions in the 1970s and '80s. Venus is difficult to photograph due to its thick cloud cover and harsh environment, with a surface pressure 93 times that of Earth and temperatures hot enough to melt lead. NASA's upcoming DAVINCI mission, set to launch in 2029, aims to study the atmosphere and take high-resolution pictures of the surface.
