Exploring Venus: A New Era in Planetary Science

Venus, Earth's "sister planet," offers crucial insights into planetary evolution, climate change, and habitability. NASA's Venus Exploration Analysis Group outlines a bold strategy with missions like VERITAS, DAVINCI, and EnVision, aiming to unravel Venus's past and its divergence from Earth. Advances in technology and international collaboration are key to exploring its extreme environment, with long-term plans including sample-return missions and human exploration.
