Each Unique Planet =FRAMED by the Word of God
Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God,...
Hebrews 11:3
"NASA’s Parker Solar Probe
observed the night side of Venus and unexpectedly penetrated its thick
atmosphere, detecting thermal emission from the planet’s surface, making
this the first detection of the Venusian surface by an optical
telescope. The thermal emission is detectable due to the high
temperature of the Venusian surface, which even on the night side
reaches an estimated 462 degrees Celsius (864 degrees Fahrenheit). The
new WISPR images also show a bright rim of emission at the limb,
associated with nightglow emission from molecular oxygen, somewhat
analogous to auroral emissions observed at Earth.
WISPR was designed to see faint features in the solar atmosphere and
wind, and some scientists thought they might be able to use the camera
to image the cloud tops veiling Venus as Parker passed the planet.
But instead of just seeing clouds, WISPR also saw through to the surface of the planet.
During the 2021 flyby, Parker’s orbit lined up perfectly for WISPR to image Venus’ night side in entirety.
Now, we finally are seeing the surface in visible wavelengths for the first time from space.
When flying past Venus on July 11, 2020, the WISPR instrument 
onboard
Parker Solar Probe detected a bright rim around the edge of the planet
that may be nightglow.
The prominent dark feature in the center of the
image is Aphrodite Terra, the largest highland region on the Venusian
surface. Bright streaks in WISPR, such as the ones seen here, are
typically caused by a combination of cosmic rays, sunlight reflected by
grains of space dust, and particles of material expelled from the
spacecraft’s structures after impact with those dust grains. The number
of streaks varies along the orbit or when the spacecraft is traveling at
different speeds, and scientists are still in discussion about the
specific origins of the streaks here. The dark spot appearing on the
lower portion of Venus is an artifact from the WISPR instrument." SciNews
