    A Japanese research group identified a giant streak structure in the clouds of Venus using observations from the Akatsuki spacecraft. They then revealed through climate simulations that this structure originated from large-scale atmospheric circulation. The findings were published in Nature Communications and provide new insights into Venus' atmospheric dynamics and climate.

    Jan. 31, 2019: A Japanese research group has identified a giant streak structure
    among the clouds covering Venus based on observation from the
    spacecraft Akatsuki.

    The team also revealed the origins of this structure using large-scale climate
    simulations. The group was led by Project Assistant Professor Hiroki
    Kashimura (Kobe University, Graduate School of Science) and these findings
    were published on January 9 in Nature Communications.

    Second planet from the Sun and our closest planetary neighbor, Venus is similar
    in structure and size to Earth, but it is now a very different world. Venus spins
    slowly in the opposite direction most planets do. Its thick atmosphere traps heat
    in a runaway greenhouse effect, making it the hottest planet in our solar system
    —with surface temperatures hot enough to melt lead. Glimpses below the
    clouds reveal volcanoes and deformed mountains. Explore Venus ›
