Nicola Fox, Division Director of the Heliophysics Division at NASA Headquarters, said, “We are thrilled with the images from Parker Solar Probe. These images can take the ongoing research about the planet Venus forward in an unexpected way.
Scientists have published a full analysis of this new discovery on 9 February in the journal Geophysical Research Letters. Study lead author Brian Wood said until recently scientists didn’t know much about what the surface of Venus looked like. These pictures have changed our perspective to a great extent. Wood said the surface temperature of Venus is about 460 degrees Celsius even at night. It is so hot that the rocky surface of Venus is clearly shining.
However, scientists have high hopes from these pictures. They believe that this will help further in understanding the planet Venus. The planet can be understood in detail.
Scientists also want to know whether life will ever be possible on the planet Venus. The atmosphere of Venus is filled with carbon dioxide. Its surface is so hot that even lead will melt. This proves that it is impossible for life to survive on this planet. However, researchers from Cardiff University, Cardiff University in Wales, caused a stir last year by discovering sources of phosphine phosphine in the atmosphere of Venus. He claimed that the discovery of this naturally occurring gas from the breakdown of organic matter on Earth on Venus could be a sign of life there.
