Even though our knowledge has greatly advanced over the decades, I must say the #planetary literature was much more exciting during the Mariner program

What The Soviets Found On Venus

• interesting vid to watch
• learn about Soviet determination
• unreal atmospheric pressures
• temperatures higher than an oven in the atmosphere
• braking systems for probes in water like behaving heavy Venus atmosphere
• Venera 13 had a mic onboard!
• Venus sounds horrifying (at least to my little cousin whose listening in as I make this toot) ;)
• they had sent 14 probes at least to Venus

🌏 Why are only a few #planets suitable for life? And why is Earth one of them?

Dr. Rob Spaargaren, together with his international team of astronomers, answers these questions in a new paper.

It may have consequences for the search for life elsewhere.🔎

🌍 Astronomers from all over the world are coming to Groningen for the #RockyWorlds4 conference.

'We would like to broaden the ideas about what a rocky planet could be made up of,' says Inga Kamp, astrophysicist at the UG.

"#Planetary Solvency is threatened, and we urgently need a recovery plan. An actuarial review of key #climate change assumptions shows we may have seriously underestimated the rate of #warming as well as the related #economic #impacts"

These are the people who really understand #risk. 2 degrees by 2050. Mind you - average over 2023-25 was 1.48 degrees.
