From Planet Conjunction To Venus Occultation: Here's What Skywatchers Can Witness In June
The month will bring a close meeting of bright planets, a rare event involving the Moon and Venus, and the beginning of astronomical summer.

Massive Solar Storm Reveals How Mars Is Losing Its Atmosphere
Researchers using NASA’s MAVEN observed unusual plasma structures during a major Solar Storm, revealing new details about how solar wind strips away the Martian atmosphere and reshapes the planet over time.

Moon, Venus And Jupiter Align Tonight In Rare 'Sky Smile' Conjunction
Skywatchers are in for a treat starting tonight as the Moon lines up with Venus and Jupiter in the evening sky.

Scientists Solve Venus Cloud Puzzle Using Simple Fluid Dynamics
Scientists discovered that a giant atmospheric wave on Venus behaves like a hydraulic jump seen in kitchen sinks. The process may explain the planet’s enormous sulfuric acid cloud front and its unusually fast atmospheric super rotation.

Scientists Predict Venus-Jupiter Close Encounter In June After May Alignment
The two planets will reach their closest point during a conjunction on 9 June 2026.

Venus And Jupiter To Appear Side By Side In Rare Sky Show This Summer
Looking westward with binoculars or telescopes immediately after sunset can be risky, as accidentally looking directly at the sun can cause serious eye damage.

From Blood Moon To Planetary Parade: 9 Must-Watch Sky Events Lighting Up March
The month promises planet conjunctions and increased chances of seeing the aurora borealis.

Planetary Parade In February 2026: How And When To Watch Rare Six-Planet Alignment
According to NASA, at least one bright planet can be seen on most nights, depending on the weather.

Venus May Hide a Vast Underground Tunnel Formed by Ancient Volcanic Eruptions, Scientists Say
Scientists analysing NASA’s Magellan radar data have identified signs of a vast underground lava tunnel on Venus. If confirmed, it would be only the second such structure found on the planet, challenging the belief that Venus is geologically inactive and opening new possibilities for studying its volcanic past.

Planetary Parade In February 2026: When And How To Watch Six Planets Align In A Rare Sky Spectacle
Light pollution won't significantly hinder viewing, but clouds can be problematic, so clear skies are essential.

Why Venus Is the Brightest Morning Star Visible From Earth
Venus appears so bright in the sky due to reflective sulfuric acid clouds, its closeness to Earth, and sunlight scattering that creates optical effects like a glory.

Venus' Winds Race Around The Planet At Extreme Speeds Due To Solar Heat
New findings suggest that diurnal tides, driven by solar heat, are a major contributor to the extreme speeds of Venus's winds.
-
Scientists Finally Identify What Drives Venus’s Fast Winds
A new study has identified the primary force behind Venus’s extreme superrotating atmosphere: a once-per-day thermal tide driven by solar heating. Using data from Venus Express and Akatsuki along with circulation models, researchers show that this daily tide transports most of the momentum that accelerates cloud-top winds to speeds over 100 metre...
