    Atmospheric Venus
AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the search for atmospheric transmittance data for Venus, specifically in the C-band. A participant suggests comparing the absorption spectra of Earth's atmosphere with that of Venus to derive the transmittance. However, the original poster clarifies they are specifically looking for a transmittance or opacity plot rather than reflected spectrum data. A link to a relevant Venus spectrum from ESA is provided, but it does not meet the original request. The conversation highlights the challenge of finding specific atmospheric data for Venus.

Hi guys this is my first post! I've been trying to find a plot of the atmospheric transmittance of Venus but I've had no luck. I'm particularly interested in the C-band transmittance. Thanks for any information you have!

Sorry your first post took three days to get an answer! Can you not just look up the absorbtion spectrum for the Earth's atmosphere and compare that to Venus' spectrum? Subtract one from the other type of thing? Venus is just reflected sunlight with some absorbtion lines, etc...

Perhaps this might help: http://www.esa.int/spaceinimages/Images/2009/07/Venus_spectra_from_SCIAMACHY

Is that what you're looking for?
 

Thread 'Potential biosignature found in Mars rock'

Publication: Redox-driven mineral and organic associations in Jezero Crater, Mars Article: NASA Says Mars Rover Discovered Potential Biosignature Last Year Press conference The ~100 authors don't find a good way this could have formed without life, but also can't rule it out. Now that they have shared their findings with the larger community someone else might find an explanation - or maybe it was actually made by life.

Thread 'Does it make sense to build new radio telescopes?'

TL;DR Summary: In 3 years, the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) telescope (or rather, a system of telescopes) should be put into operation. In case of failure to detect alien signals, it will further expand the radius of the so-called silence (or rather, radio silence) of the Universe. Is there any sense in this or is blissful ignorance better? In 3 years, the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) telescope (or rather, a system of telescopes) should be put into operation.

Thread 'Could gamma-ray bursts have an intragalactic origin?'

Thread 'Could gamma-ray bursts have an intragalactic origin?'

This is indirectly evidenced by a map of the distribution of gamma-ray bursts in the night sky, made in the form of an elongated globe. And also the weakening of gamma radiation by the disk and the center of the Milky Way, which leads to anisotropy in the possibilities of observing gamma-ray bursts. My line of reasoning is as follows: 1. Gamma radiation should be absorbed to some extent by dust and other components of the interstellar medium. As a result, with an extragalactic origin, fewer...
