  • In fact, Venus has sort of a cometary tail... a real long one too.

  • Hadouken!!

  • What I think most people wont initially realize is that the same solar winds hitting Venus are the same winds hitting earth. Think of what we are going through lol

  • First destructive solar flare was recorded in 1859. Telegraph poles were on fire and telegraph network were down. After careful study, next event was already foreseen with 90% life wipe out but Scientists coded the actual date in Religious way to prevent people from panicking (late 19th century). Micheal the Archangel was the key where he defeated Satan and save the Earth from burning in Hell. 2012 - 1859 = 153.

    Search 153 that relates "Micheal the Archangel" in Google. You'll be surprised.

  • Is this real ? or just computer simulation ?

  • so basically, the gasses that do leave the planet, are recreated by the vulcanic activity. I even think venus overproduces gasses in comparison to what leaves the planet trough solar radiation.

  • because the atmosphere is so thick, its harder for solar radiation to blow away the gasses in the first place.

    Also, the air on venus is supported by volcanoes. Most produced gasses are, carbon dioxide and sulfuric acid. Those are all volcanic. And therefore (although its scientifically not accepted) i think that venus is still very very active.

    And ofcourse it is, no doubt. We just need evidence about that first.

  • If the solar wind is blowing away Venus' atmosphere how come she still has a thick atmosphere? Surely after 'billions of years' Venus should be just like Mars now albeit a hotter version?

  • Venus lacks a magnetosphere, so that's why it has this atmospheric tail.

  • there is no air in the galaxy, but the sun flares out from time to time (quite a lot, some so powerful they can reach the egdes of our solar system)

    this is what they refer to as solar wind, as it acts like wind, but really it is particals of the sun on fire

    tho i think this film is jus an animation retell based on data collected thus far...

    you should see the solar winds bouncing off this planet, much more beautiful effect, as we have a better protection layer on this planet
