Cosmic dust identified as the source of Venus' enigmatic lower haze
The dust stems from shooting stars that continually rain down on #Venus.
A mysterious layer of particles that occupies the lower regions of Venusโs atmosphere has long puzzled astronomers. However, a research team has finally solved the mystery of the โlower haze,โ discovering that the haze comes from cosmic dust left by shooting stars that constantly rain down on Venus.

A research team has developed a new approach to detecting life beyond Earth that does not rely on identifying specific biological markers. Instead, the study suggests that life may be detectable through patterns emerging across groups of planets, offering a new framework for astrobiology in situations where traditional biosignatures are ambiguous or unreliable.
An international team led by Dr. Indrani Das of Academia Sinica Institute of Astronomy and Astrophysics (ASIAA) has shown, for the first time, how infalling gas from star-forming cores gradually transitions into planet-forming disks. Their findings, combining numerical simulations with Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) observations, are published today in The Astrophysical Journal.
