Скачать или смотреть Oxygen Detected in the Noxious Atmosphere of Venus

Scientists have made a significant discovery by detecting the presence of oxygen in the noxious atmosphere of Venus. Using an instrument aboard the SOFIA airborne observatory, they found a thin layer of atomic oxygen sandwiched between two other layers of the Venusian atmosphere. This direct detection provides evidence of photochemistry in Venus' atmosphere, driven by solar radiation. While Earth's atmosphere contains breathable molecular oxygen, Venus' atmosphere is primarily composed of carbon dioxide and lacks sufficient oxygen for sustaining known life forms. The discovery sheds light on the unique composition and dynamics of Venus' atmosphere, offering valuable insights into the planet's evolution and its stark differences from Earth.
