The process through which Venus lost the rest of its water, and continues to lose its last remaining bits of the precious liquid until today, has puzzled scientists for years. The new study ...
The new study fills in a big gap in what the researchers call “the water story on Venus.” Using computer simulations, the team found that hydrogen atoms in the planet’s atmosphere go ...
Billions of years ago, Venus may have harbored as much water as Earth. Today, almost all of it has disappeared. A new study may help to explain why. Planetary scientists at the University of ...
(Nanowerk News) Planetary scientists at the University of Colorado Boulder have discovered how Venus, Earth’s scalding and uninhabitable neighbor, became so dry. The new study fills in a big gap in ...
Venus lost most of its water due to thermal and non-thermal processes, with new research suggesting a crucial advance.
Planetary scientists at the University of Colorado Boulder have discovered how Venus, Earth's scalding and uninhabitable neighbor, became so dry. The new study fills in a big gap in what the ...
Planetary scientists at CU Boulder have discovered how Venus, Earth’s scalding and uninhabitable neighbor, became so dry. The new study fills in a big gap in what the researchers call “the water story ...
So, what happened? Why did Venus lose the water that once made it so Earth-like? A new study published in Nature could provide a vital pathway toward understanding this water loss, through a ...
Our new study reveals that an overlooked chemical reaction in Venus’ atmosphere can produce enough escaping hydrogen to close the gap between the expected and observed water loss.
Scientists have puzzled over what happened to water on Venus, but the planet's extreme conditions have made it hard to study. A new analysis from researchers at the University of Colorado Boulder ...
Venus could be shedding water to space at a much faster rate than previously thought. That is the conclusion of researchers in the US, who have identified a mechanism in the Venusian ionosphere that ...
