Chemical traces have been detected in Venus's atmosphere, indicating frequent and intense lightning hidden beneath its thick clouds. Scientists are discussing the possible origins of these phenomena and their role in the planet's chemistry.
An international team of scientists has, for the first time, confirmed the existence of massive lava tunnels beneath the surface of Venus, comparable in size to those found on the Moon. This discovery reshapes our understanding of the planet's geology and is significant for future research.
Recent experiments have shown that under extreme conditions, not only water but also a mixture of sulfuric acid and organic compounds can serve as a solvent for life. This broadens our understanding of possible forms of life beyond Earth.
