Astrophysicists from Germany have achieved a significant breakthrough by directly observing oxygen atoms in the day side atmosphere of Venus. The findings, published in the journal Nature Communications, were made possible through the use of data from the Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy (SOFIA), which allowed the team to analyze elements and molecules present in Venus’s atmosphere. While previous observations had detected atomic oxygen on the dark side of Venus, where it emitted a faint glow, this marks the first time it has been observed on the sunny side of the planet. The researchers focused their attention on 17 specific…
