Venus: Express dispatches
Andrew P. Ingersoll1
Abstract
The Venus Express mission has returned its first findings on the harsh atmosphere of our sister planet. It's another step towards explaining how Venus turned out so differently from our balmy home.
Venus is the planet closest to Earth not just in distance, but also in mass, radius, density and chemical composition (Fig. 1).
