Venus - The Mos
PMysteriaus Plano
Before the year is out the :
United States :shroud tieve un-
1ocised mule well -kept secrets
of its sieter planet, Venue
That is, if Moir':nor II, -the
e18,000,000 spacecraft now on its
181.000,000 mile trip to Venus
performs its expected.
Of all the planets Venus is
the most mysterious -•- though
the closest to the earth, and the
third brightest ?Ncecrt in the
heavens — next 'es' ie sun and
moon.
The reason is that it is con-
stantly covered by a dense blan-
ke: of clouds, Astronomers
therefore have not been able to
make direct observations of its
surface, as they have of Mars,
the moon, and other heavenly
bodies.
One of the puzzling features
of Venus. is the changeable dark
and light Markings that appear
on its cloud layer, What do they
signify? How do they origin-
ate
Some people have guessed
they mark breaks in the cloud
cover. But they have no regu-
larity, and so far it has been
impossible to see through them.
Another mystery is the length
of a day on Venus. Quite a num-
ber of astronomers and space
scientists believe that Venus
rotates on its axis at a slOW
rate, possibly only 'once every
225 "earth" days.
However, it is known that a
Venus -year lasts 225 earth -days,
that is, it takes 2M earth -days
for Venus to revolve around the
sun.
If :he length of rotation guess
is correct, then it would, mean
that the planet turns only once
in about the time it takes to
complete an orbit. If so, an as-
tronomer's "day" on Venus -
would last a whole Venus -year.
Or since one side of the planet
— like the moon — would al-
ways be facing the sun, that side
,would erjoy perpetual 'day"
while the Other would always
be in darkness.
But not all astronomers be-
lieve it takes 225 earth -days for
Venus to make a spin around its
skis.
The Soviets, for example, have
pe: ou: a recent study on Venus
indicating that their observa-
tions suggest a Venus -day lasts
only about nine earth -days, How-
ever, they postulate this on so
many "ifs" and premises that
they too accept the possibility
of a 225 earth -day on Venus,
They also mention studies by
eters indicating a Venus -day
may be even shorter than an
earth -day, 22 hours and 17 min-
utes to be exact.
Se until Mariner II, and pos-
s:h:y other space shots, can fa -
..._...the secrets of Venus, the
range ^f guesses as to the length
ef a Venus -day goes from less
...-^rt one earth -day to seven and
cne-half earth -months:
if Venus always presents the
:an:: face :o the sun, it is as-
sented by many that the temper -
.;res there are either fantas-
::y hot or incredibly cold,
