Venus is the planet in the Solar System most similar to Earth in terms of size and (probably)
bulk composition. Until the mid-20th century, scientists thought that Venus was a verdant …

Superrotation is a dynamical regime where the atmosphere circulates around the planet in
the direction of planetary rotation with excess angular momentum in the equatorial region …

Fundamental properties of the planet Venus, such as its internal mass distribution and
variations in length of day, have remained unknown. We used Earth-based observations of …

Abstract Hayabusa2 is the Japanese Asteroid Return Mission and targeted the
carbonaceous asteroid Ryugu, conducted by the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency …

Although Venus is a terrestrial planet similar to Earth, its atmospheric circulation is much
different and poorly characterized. Winds at the cloud top have been measured …

Over the past several decades, thousands of planets have been discovered outside our
Solar System. These planets exhibit enormous diversity, and their large numbers provide a …

Abstract The 4‐day and 5‐day waves observed at the cloud top in the Venus atmosphere
are expected to play important roles in the maintenance of the general circulation. However …

The discovery and characterization of Earth-sized planets that are in, or near, a tidally locked
state are of crucial importance to understanding terrestrial planet evolution. For this purpose …

As of mid-2023 at least ten missions are in development or being planned to explore Venus
in the next 2 decades. Most of these emphasize atmospheric chemistry and surface/interior …

Dynamics of low-level flows in the eye of Typhoon Haishen (2020) in its late phase of
intensification are investigated with a special rapid-scan observation of the Himawari-8 …
