🔭 Stargazers alert ⚠️
This was the view from the West Exit of JR Narita station a short while ago, while I was doing some planet-spotting. I realized that Venus and Jupiter, which I’ve been tracking for weeks, are very close this week. The closest might have been last night. Rainy season is going to ruin the best views. … Continue reading Fifty seconds of Venus and Jupiter at the JR Narita West Exit. Today’s…

Venus and Jupiter conjunction promises dazzling June skywatching spectacle. Venus and Jupiter, the two brightest planets visible from Earth, will appear remarkably close together during a stunning conjunction on June 9, 2026. Visible without a telescope, the celestial event is expected to be one of the year's biggest astronomy highlights, offering skywatchers a rare opportunity to witness a…

Models suggest that impact-ejected material from Earth could reach Venus’ clouds and potentially survive there briefly. Panspermia is the idea that life, or the ingredients needed for life, can move through space on asteroids, comets, and other objects. If life’s building blocks appear on one planet, a powerful impact could blast material from its surface [...]
Scientists are trying to understand Venus' bright surface formations, called coronae, using new 3D maps.
A 3,700-mile-long cloud bank on Venus forms through the same phenomenon that describes how water spreads out in your kitchen sink, scientists say.
The origin of an impressive cloud disturbance on Venus has now been revealed by a team including the University of Tokyo. Researchers used numerical models to show that an enormous 6,000-kilometer-wide atmospheric wave front, which circumnavigates the planet for days at a time, is caused by a large “hydraulic jump.” This is when a fluid […]
Evidence suggests that Venus is still volcanically active, and new data about a big eruption in Hawaii a few years ago could help scientists find out for sure.

Regional wind patterns on Venus may stabilize mountain temperatures while generating dust storms that future landers must withstand. For decades, the surface of Venus has remained one of the least understood environments in the solar system. With only a handful of landers ever transmitting data before succumbing to the planet’s extreme heat and pressure, scientists [...]
