Venus, popularly knowns as Earth’s “evil twin”, had as soon as seen all of the water vanishing from its floor. Now, a brand new research revealed how gases — oxygen and carbon — are stripped away from the higher layers of the planet’s environment.

According to a research revealed in Nature Astronomy journal, the Mercury-bound BepiColombo spacecraft carried out its second fly-by of Venus on August 10, 2021. The fleeting go to of the ESA/JAXA mission “provided a short-lived observation of its induced magnetosphere”.

What the research revealed?

As per a report in Phys.org, the “detections in a beforehand unexplored area of Venus’s magnetic setting” show that carbon and oxygen are travelling at such accelarated speeds that “they’ll escape the planet’s gravitational pull”.
