The Surface of Venus - Our Only Images The Planetary Society 2023-04-04 | planetary.org/articles/every-picture-from-venus-surface-everOnly 4 spacecraft have ever returned images from Venus’ surface. The world next door doesn’t make it easy, with searing heat and crushing pressure that quickly destroy any lander.In 1975 and 1982, 4 of the Soviet Union’s Venera probes captured our only images of Venus’ surface. The Veneras, which mean “Venus” in Russian, scanned the surface back and forth to create panoramic images of their surroundings. They revealed yellow skies and cracked, desolate landscapes that were both alien and familiar—views of a world that may have once been like Earth before experiencing catastrophic climate change.
Whats in NASAs 2024 budget? The Planetary Society 2023-03-24 | The President's budget request for 2024 is good for NASA overall, but it's missing funding for some key projects including the VERITAS mission to Venus. In this live event recording from March 16, 2023, Planetary Society Chief of Space Policy Casey Dreier unpacks the 2024 NASA budget and answers questions about what it means for the future of space science and exploration.

How to see Comet 2022 E3 (ZTF), the Green Comet The Planetary Society 2023-01-26 | Everything you need to know about Comet 2022 E3 (ZTF) or the "Green Comet," which is making its first approach to Earth in 50,000 years.More here: planetary.org/articles/how-to-see-comet-2022-e3-ztfA comet from the outer Solar System will be passing close to Earth for the first time in 50,000 years this month, and you might just be able to see it.Comet 2022 E3 (ZTF) — sometimes called "the Green Comet" — is currently visible using a telescope, but as it approaches Earth it is expected to get brighter and easier to see. The comet has a long orbit that takes it from the outer reaches of the Solar System in toward the Sun over thousands of years. It will be closest to the Earth on Feb. 1, at a distance of about 42 million kilometers (26 million miles). In the weeks surrounding its closest approach it may be visible with the naked eye or with binoculars.To see it, look in the northern skies just after sunset. Without a telescope, Comet 2022 E3 (ZTF) will most likely look like a faint, greenish smudge in the sky rather than a bright object, and isn’t likely to have the dramatic, visible tail we saw on Comet NEOWISE in 2020. But it’s still worth checking out; this particular comet takes around 50,000 years to orbit the Sun, so an opportunity to see it will only come once in a lifetime.Comet 2022 E3 (ZTF) was discovered by the Zwicky Transient Facility’s wide-field survey camera at the Palomar Observatory in California in early March 2022.
#ThankYouLightSail The Planetary Society 2022-11-17 | After 3.5 years and 18,000 orbits of the Earth, The Planetary Society’s LightSail 2 solar sail spacecraft has reentered the Earth’s atmosphere in a blaze of glory.This was always going to be LightSail 2’s fate, and the spacecraft actually stayed up for much longer than originally predicted. The entire mission was a huge success, showing that solar sails can propel a CubeSat spacecraft and paving the way for future solar sailing missions now underway. If you are a member of The Planetary Society, then you are a member of the LightSail 2 mission team. This groundbreaking mission was made possible by the support of our members and today we hope you join us in celebrating the advances in exploration technology that we all made possible together. Thank you so much for being a part of this amazing mission.
