BRIAN WOOD: It's thrilling
to be able to see something

3
00:00:14,914 --> 00:00:16,649
that's never been seen before.

4
00:00:16,750 --> 00:00:19,719
This emission that we're
seeing is thermal emission.

5
00:00:19,819 --> 00:00:21,821
Even on the night side,
the surface of Venus

6
00:00:21,921 --> 00:00:27,027
is so hot that it's
glowing faintly

7
00:00:27,127 --> 00:00:28,795
at very red wavelengths.

8
00:00:54,654 --> 00:00:56,289
GIADA ARNEY: These
Whisper images, I think,

9
00:00:56,389 --> 00:00:59,726
are really exciting because
they provide a new window

10
00:00:59,826 --> 00:01:03,696
into the lower atmosphere
and surface region of Venus,

11
00:01:03,797 --> 00:01:06,166
where these extreme
conditions exist.

12
00:01:22,148 --> 00:01:26,186
We have chemical fingerprints
in Venus' atmosphere

13
00:01:26,286 --> 00:01:29,789
and on its surface suggesting
that Venus might have

14
00:01:29,889 --> 00:01:32,358
been habitable in the past.
