confirmed that Venus -- with its heavy atmospheric pressure and scalding
temperatures -- is not a place you'd want to holiday. Now, lightning has
been discovered for the first time, making Venus just the fourth body
in the universe known to produce it -- after Earth, Jupiter and Saturn.

Express about the Venusian atmosphere as it's wrapping up its primary
mission to study the second rock from the sun. Secondary studies of the
planet have been extended for two more Venusian days. That's longer
than you might think, as one day on Venus is about 117 Earth days long.</P></blockquote><div style="border-bottom: solid 1px #dcdcdc; white-space: nowrap; margin-bottom: 8px; background-color: #eeeeee ;background-image: url(http://clipmarks.com/images/source-bg.gif); background-repeat: repeat-x; height: 24px; line-height: 24px; vertical-align: middle; padding-bottom: 4px; color: #666666; font-size: 10px;" ><a href="http://clipmarks.com/clip-to-blog/" title="see clips that are hot right now"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/images/clip-icon.gif" alt="" width="19" height="19" border="0" style="vertical-align: middle; margin: 0px 4px; display: inline; border: none; float:none;" /></a>clipped from <a title="http://news.cnet.co.uk/software/0,39029694,49294541-2,00.htm" href="http://news.cnet.co.uk/software/0,39029694,49294541-2,00.htm" style="font-size: 11px;">news.cnet.co.uk</a></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://news.cnet.co.uk/software/0,39029694,49294541-2,00.htm"><div align="center"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/news.cnet.co.uk/img/E0D7BB30-79BA-444C-81AF-E46E755411FD" alt="" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://news.cnet.co.uk/software/0,39029694,49294541-2,00.htm"><P>Venus Express has also showed how
solar winds are stripping away the atmosphere of Venus. Venus would
probably be more Earth-like if it possessed a magnetic field similar to
Earth's that would prevent its atmosphere from losing gases in the form
of ionised particles.
