Andre,
Are you aware of any attempts on the new mission to more precisely measure Venus's rotation?
And I also want to thank you for your moral support re: the resonance hypothesis :!) :!) :!) :!) .

hi Warren, You're welcome,

This is the http://www.iwf.oeaw.ac.at/files/vx_mdr.pdf. No special attention for the rotation but everything on atmosphere and possible volcanic activity.

So, are we on the brink of solving many issues of Venus or are we going to find more mysteries?
Yay! :approve:

And to answer your question ... both!

The most interesting parts of doing astronomy are the bits where you get to discover something you didn't expect, and, once again, the universe shows you that there's more to know than you can ever imagine.
