This is what my sky looked like today. The clouds were moving at 30mph at least, and it cycled through storm, hail, gale winds, and clear blue skies all in one afternoon.
The alt-text does credit the source, though it also appears to be written by AI in how it makes unsure statements about how the bright light is 'probably the sun' as if there's just another incredibly bright point source in our solar system.
What beauty. It is difficult for humans to imagine the conditions on the surface of that planet. Temperatures above the melting point of lead. Pressures 90+ times our atmospheric pressure, or about 1km of depth in the ocean. That's well below what all but specialized submarines can reach.
"...spacecraft launched in 2010... failing to enter orbit around Venus due to a failure of its main engine. However, the mission team managed to contrive a second opportunity in 2015 after five years of orbiting the sun, successfully entering orbit."
In the alt-text of the original post, it says, "This is a cropped, close-up image of the planet Venus, taken by the Parker Solar Probe’s WISPR instrument. "
The alt text is totally wrong. This account refuses all attempts to improve it's content. Frequently mislabels, frequently doesn't use alt-text, etc. They just don't care.
Very strong interface margin there. Where the dark cloud ends. Can we look at parts and spectoanalyse to see if that is where a certain chemical is precipitating out of the atmosphere?
Our neighbor with a warning to us about what can go wrong. It's atmosphere is made up almost entirely of CO2. Roughly the same size as Earth but it's mean temperature is over 450 Degrees Celsius and the pressure enormous. You don't want to live there. Nor Mars. Don't tell Elon, but our Earth is OK.
I say we bum rush a colony on Mars....and deport MAGA, Musk and the Trump crime family all there. Let them take the paper money with them. Let's see what it buys them there. We can print new bills to replace them, they won't be coming back.
Earth isn't sufficient without redundancy of living elsewhere because another planet-life killing event on Earth is simply a matter of time. Maybe Mars isn't the solution but there inevitably will be a solution.
We have kept people alive in orbit continuously for decades with the same inputs that we can extract from Mars, so no, there is a solution. The question is just one of scale and priorities.
nooo, not beautiful Venus. Don't drop waste onto lovely planets, even the image him landing like a Russian probe brings a smile to my face. worth it. 😀
Just start with one of his starships and see how far he gets!
Just put a well protected camera on him and we will see how far he gets. 😆 Let’s say it for science…bet you his bones will make it and crush, burn and fly away. 😁
"A movie of synthesized false color images of Venus acquired by UVI (Ultraviolet Imager) with 283-nm and 365-nm filters from November 16 to December 7, 2018."
So those are Venus’s clouds ✅ Totally unrelated : You must have seen Anton’s recent video . Something big happened , not sure what but observed three ways is the gist i think https://youtu.be/5U90IFiOhWY?si=WBZ59YJl6wyfh_HT
"This animation of Venus was created using 2.02µm wavelength images obtained by IR2 (2µm camera). The time duration is from June 15, 2016 to August 1, 2016."
Can't say if it is or not, whoever posted it did not provide any info: who took the photo, when was it taken, what equipment was used, who processed the data, etc.

seems like this might be false information

That’s my planet. I’m a Libra

You'd better create a meme account.

Now put the camera up your ass and show me a picture of Uranus
what's your source?

NASA is not the only space agency.
There is ESA, Roscosmos, JAXA, and many others.

Discovered in 1977 during an occultation of a star by Uranus.
Hubble has observed them several times, including in 2007.

There have been attempts to come up with ways how the rings could have been brighter and seeing better in Herschel's age to make it possible
