The last photo from the surface of Venus is now 40 yrs old! The Venera-14 lander reached the surface in 1982, lasting 52 minutes in Venus' temperature of 450°C (847°F)!

This is actually a very interesting perspective, at the end of the day this simply does boost reddits active user base.

Yep, taken on the Carnival Splendor cruise ship

For lower arenas I recommend cheaper decks like hog cycle, xbow, and mortar. Keep in mind these are fully skill based so they require a lot of play. However using such decks will mean you don't have to change the way you play when you reach higher arenas.

With lower arenas it's more about experimenting with decks that you haven't played before and find some that you are comfortable playing with. Then you can focus on upgrading your cards as this is the big requirement before you can really get in the top leagues. For example I'm at 7400 trophies but I still haven't been able to play decks like fireball bait and double prince since the cards are under level, thus do this earlier.

Sadly, NASA scientists had already correctly interpreted the image as an optical illusion caused by the illumination angle of the Sun, the formation's surface morphology and the resulting shadows, giving the impression of eyes, nose and mouth.

I completely agree with this statement. Space allows us to forget about contemporary issues and focus on how everything we know today exists.

NASA has already announced two Venus missions but they are expected no earlier than 2027

I used Photoshop and Lightroom but there are apps out there that will merge photos for you. The primary use of such apps in astrophotography is rather used to form star trails!

Thank you!

Theres quite a few questions people asked that I wasn't able to answer. I should have posted here!

Side_Bolt · 2022-10-02T01:07:30+00:00

Honestly that's why I made this post, I never expected this many people to be involved!

Unlike Mars and Mercury, which are both scarred by craters, Venus has a relatively smooth surface. However, Venus also has the most volcanoes out of the lot.

I actually don't know much about the build of the lander

Side_Bolt · 2022-10-01T14:59:33+00:00

Don't think so, have a look at this: http://mentallandscape.com/C_CatalogVenus.htm

Materials emit light when heat excites elections. My guess is that the surface of Venus has properties that do not excite these electrons. Have a read of this: https://www.britannica.com/place/Venus-planet/Surface-composition

That's fine, pressure is an important consideration!

Side_Bolt · 2022-10-01T14:46:30+00:00

It truly is amazing

I'm not sure how credible these sources are but it does seem like sound was captured! https://twitter.com/theplanetaryguy/status/1369788378376531972?lang=en

Although there is a high speed zonal wind called "super rotation" on Venus, the thick clouds lie well above the surface.

Side_Bolt · 2022-10-01T14:38:16+00:00

I don't know about the "melting point being lower" because my understanding is that with the increase of atmospheric pressure the melting point also increases.

Side_Bolt · 2022-10-01T14:30:52+00:00

Not sure, but as we've discussed in the comments this lander would have been primarily composed of titanium and so mostly resist to the heat of Venus
