Venus appears so bright in the night sky primarily due to its high albedo, reflecting about 76% of sunlight because of its thick cloud cover of sulfuric acid droplets, and its proximity to Earth, making it the second-brightest object after the Moon. Its brightness varies with its phase, distance from Earth, and the scattering of sunlight by its clouds, sometimes making it visible during the day.
Scientists have identified a new tectonic regime called the 'episodic-squishy lid' that could explain how planets like Earth and Venus evolve differently, impacting their habitability. This regime describes a planet's outer shell cycling between quiet and active phases, which may have played a role in Earth's development of plate tectonics and could help identify potentially habitable exoplanets. The findings, published in Nature Communications, offer new insights into planetary geology and the conditions that support life.
The Japanese spacecraft Akatsuki, which studied Venus since 2010 and provided valuable data, has been officially declared dead after losing contact in 2024, marking Japan's first successful planetary exploration. Despite setbacks, it exceeded its expected lifespan, and future missions by NASA and ESA are planned to continue Venus research. Until then, Earth’s connection to Venus is temporarily severed.
Japan's Akatsuki spacecraft, which studied Venus for nearly a decade and provided valuable insights into its atmosphere and super rotation, has been declared dead after losing contact in 2024, marking the end of humanity's last active mission to Venus.

A reanalysis of 1970s Pioneer Venus data suggests Venus's clouds contain mostly water bound in hydrates, challenging the previous belief that they are primarily sulfuric acid, which has significant implications for the possibility of life in Venus's clouds.
Scientists warn of undetectable co-orbital asteroids near Venus that could potentially strike Earth every 12,000 years, highlighting the need to rethink planetary defense strategies due to their elusive nature and sudden appearance risk.
A hidden population of Venus co-orbital asteroids, which are currently undetectable with existing telescopes, could pose a threat to Earth in a few thousand years by potentially crossing Earth's orbit, highlighting the need for space-based monitoring to improve detection and planetary defense strategies.
Reanalysis of 1970s Pioneer Venus data reveals Venus' clouds are primarily composed of water bound in hydrates, challenging previous beliefs that they were mainly sulfuric acid, which has significant implications for the possibility of life in Venus' clouds.
Scientists warn of a hidden population of potentially dangerous asteroids near Venus that are difficult to detect with current telescopes, posing a future risk to Earth, and suggest that space-based observatories near Venus could improve detection efforts.
