Venus: Cloudy with a Chance of Science

Venus is an atmosphere-dominated world roughly the size of Earth whose mysteries are hidden beneath layers of clouds. It has been decades since a mission visited the atmosphere or the surface of this enigmatic planet, and those missions left us with more questions than answers. During this talk, Dr. Erika Kohler, the Deputy Project Scientist of the DAVINCI mission, will touch on some of the strange beauty of this planet next door and how the DAVINCI mission aims to unveil some of the mysteries of Venus. This was recorded on November 17, 2022.
