Description
Venus continues to be a problem to understand after many missions. JAXA's Akatsuki orbiter which has been monitoring the planet since December 2015 has mostly added to the questions about Venus but also offers hope for solving some of the mysteries.
Planetary scientist, Dr. Sanjay Limaye, will discuss how advances in astrobiology and growing interest in Venus-like exoplanets may raise hope that understanding Venus by targeted space missions may be fruitful.
