About Venus, Clouds and Sulphur – Fresh Results and What Insights They Might Bring

The sulphur cycle in the atmosphere of Venus has been object of study for many years. Our speakers Thérèse Encrenaz (Paris Observatory) and Rakesh Mogul (California State Polytechnic University) recently published brand new results that feed new information into this study. Thérèse Encrenaz has been observing Venus for decades from Earth and she will provide with an overview of her findings. Rakesh Mogul re-analysed Pioneer Venus descent probe data and discovered new information about the chemical composition of the sulpheric acid cloud particles. Join us in this 75 minutes long get-together listening to these new findings, and participating in the open informal discussion that will follow to share your thoughts on this enigmatic topic.
