Buch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Venus is a scientifically rich target for exploration.The evolution of Venus is, at present, poorly known, despite it being our closest planetary neighbor.This book reviews current knowledge of how Venus formed,evolved, andreached its current state. It is not clear how its tectonic and volcanic activity has varied through history, nor whether it once had a habitable phase with liquid water on its surface.Science questions addressed in the book span interior processes, surface geology,the atmosphere, climate,evidence for current activity, and the potential for past habitability.Venus is also critical to planetary sciences in a broader sense.What lessons can we learn about the history of life and habitability on Earth-sized planets and terrestrial planets in general, whether in our solar system or elsewhere The book addresses how increased study of Venus will also advance our understanding of critical questions for astrobiology, comparative planetology, and the processes that shaped the early Earth.New discoveries and analyses of recent space missions, have yielded a wealth of new insights into the evolution of Venus. This book outlines how upcoming missions and related investigations will provide data needed to piece back together what caused Earth and Venus to evolve so differently.Reprinted from Space Science Reviews Topical Collection 'Venus: Evolution Through Time'.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - The Venus Express spacecraft, which was launched in November 2005 and ceased activity in December 2014, has brought about a new wealth of data on Venus's atmosphere, surface, and space environment.Following the completion of this landmark mission, an overview of the current state of scientific understanding of Venus has been assembled into a single collection.The ten papers in this book, written by an international team of specialists, are the products of this effort. They review our knowledge of Venus's interior structure, surface composition, and atmosphere in terms of thermal structure, dynamics, composition, chemistry, clouds, aeronomy, and interaction with the solar wind.Additionally, they identify the questions and measurements that remain open for study in ongoing and future research and exploration efforts. The resulting volume is primarily intended for students and researchers of planetary science.This bookis a follow-up to the pioneering book Venus, published in 1983, and its successor volume Venus II, published in 1997, stood at their respective times as the most authoritative single-volume works available on the planet.Originally published in Space Science Reviews in the Topical Collection 'Venus III'.
