H. * Wroblewski F. B. Ovda Fluctus, the Festoon Lava Flow on Ovda Bhiravarasu S. Regio, Venus: Most Likely Basalt [#8014] We have mapped the lava flow Ovda Fluctus, on Ovda Regio, in detail. Ovda Fluctus has been interpreted as a silicic (rhyolite) lava flow. However, the preponderance of data suggests that it is composed of basaltic, not silicic, lava. 8:45 a.m. Whitten J. L. * Campbell B. A. Radar Backscatter Variations in Tessera Across Venus [#8018] Tessera radar brightness values vary across Venus. Some of these variations are spatially correlated with crater ejecta.

Atmospheric Windows to Image the Surface from Beneath the Cloud Deck on the Night Side of Venus [#8019] We explore possible atmospheric windows beneath the cloud deck to study the surface of the night side Venus. Numerous possible windows were found with the potential to elucidate questions about the composition and redox state of the surface of Venus. 9:45 a.m. Ghail R. C. * Byrne P. K. Mason P. J. Towards a New Understanding of Venus [#8013] In recent years there has been a convergence of ideas and observations that show Venus to be both more complex and active than previously thought. Here we review how a range of different processes contribute to the present-day appearance of Venus. 10:00 a.m. Byrne P. K. * Ghail R. C. A Globally Fragmented and Mobile Lithosphere Sengör A. M. C. James P. B. on Venus [#8008] Klimczak C. Solomon S. C. We report observations in support of a continuum of lithospheric mobility, with Earth’s “mobile lid” tectonics at one end, the “stagnant lid” tectonics of Mercury, Mars, and the Moon at the other, and Venus somewhere in between. 10:15 a.m. Goossens S. * Mazarico E. Venus Gravity Field Determination Using Rosenblatt P. Lebonnois S. Lemoine F. Magellan and Venus Express Tracking Data [#8029] We present an updated gravity field model for Venus from Magellan and Venus Express data.

  • The Vast Venus Conspiracy, Part III
    The Vast Venus Conspiracy, Part III By Dr. Raymond A. Keller, a.k.a. the “Cosmic Ray,” author of the international awards-winning Venus Rising trilogy (Headline Books, Terra Alta, West Virginia, 2015-2017) Why is Lady Gaga depicted with a scorpion in her “Venus” single’s cover art? To find out the amazing answer, go to the end of this article. See also http://gagadaily.com/forums/topic/188509-why-is-there-a-scorpion-on-the-venus- single-cover-art/. Many Surprises The photographs of the Venusian surface transmitted back to the Earth by the Soviet Union’s Venera 13 and Venera 14 landing probes provided many surprises. Planetary geologists were expecting to see a sandy desert under a very dim and distorted light. But what turned up in the photographs was a brightly-lit, orange-tinted landscape with jagged rocks strewn all about. In accordance with the findings of American space probes previously sent to our sister planet, as announced by spokespersons of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) in the United States, scientists from around the globe were not anticipating such clear, bright pictures. It was even noted that the distant Venusian horizon was plainly visible in the corner imagery from the Venera photographs. If what the NASA specialists had been telling us all along, that Venus had such an extremely high atmospheric density approaching one hundred times that of the Earth’s, then the Venusian atmosphere would have been found to be as dense as water at a depth of 2,000 feet below sea level.

  • Daylight Saving Time (DST)
    Daylight Saving Time (DST) Updated September 30, 2020 Congressional Research Service https://crsreports.congress.gov R45208 Daylight Saving Time (DST) Summary Daylight Saving Time (DST) is a period of the year between spring and fall when clocks in most parts of the United States are set one hour ahead of standard time. DST begins on the second Sunday in March and ends on the first Sunday in November. The beginning and ending dates are set in statute. Congressional interest in the potential benefits and costs of DST has resulted in changes to DST observance since it was first adopted in the United States in 1918. The United States established standard time zones and DST through the Calder Act, also known as the Standard Time Act of 1918. The issue of consistency in time observance was further clarified by the Uniform Time Act of 1966. These laws as amended allow a state to exempt itself—or parts of the state that lie within a different time zone—from DST observance. These laws as amended also authorize the Department of Transportation (DOT) to regulate standard time zone boundaries and DST. The time period for DST was changed most recently in the Energy Policy Act of 2005 (EPACT 2005; P.L. 109-58). Congress has required several agencies to study the effects of changes in DST observance. In 1974, DOT reported that the potential benefits to energy conservation, traffic safety, and reductions in violent crime were minimal. In 2008, the Department of Energy assessed the effects to national energy consumption of extending DST as changed in EPACT 2005 and found a reduction in total primary energy consumption of 0.02%.

Patsaeva and Alexander V. Turin Space Research Institute, Russian Academy of Sciences, 117997 Moscow, Russia; [email protected] (L.V.Z.); [email protected] (I.V.K.); [email protected] (M.V.P.); [email protected] (A.V.T.) * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: The horizontal wind velocity vectors at the lower cloud layer were retrieved by tracking the displacement of cloud features using the 1.74 µm images of the full Visible and InfraRed Thermal Imaging Spectrometer (VIRTIS-M) dataset. This layer was found to be in a superrotation mode with a westward mean speed of 60–63 m s−1 in the latitude range of 0–60◦ S, with a 1–5 m s−1 westward deceleration across the nightside. Meridional motion is significantly weaker, at 0–2 m s−1; it is equatorward at latitudes higher than 20◦ S, and changes its direction to poleward in the equatorial region with a simultaneous increase of wind speed. It was assumed that higher levels of the atmosphere are traced in the equatorial region and a fragment of the poleward branch of the direct lower cloud Hadley cell is observed. The fragment of the equatorward branch reveals itself in the middle latitudes. A diurnal variation of the meridional wind speed was found, as east of 21 h local time, the direction changes from equatorward to poleward in latitudes lower than 20◦ S.

Ishtar appearsto be the consequence of a history of several100 m.y., in whichthere have been marked changes in kinematic patternsand in whichactivity at any stage has been strongly influenced by the past. Ishtar demonstrates three general propertiesof Venus:(1) erosionaldegradation is absent,leading to preservationof patternsresulting from past activity;(2) manysurface features are the responses ofa competentlayer less than 10 km thick to flowsof 100km orbroaderscale; and (3) thesebroader scale flows are controlled mainly by heterogeneities inthe mantle. Ishtar Terra doesnot appear to bethe result of a compressionconveyed by anEarthlike lithosphere. But there is stilldoubt as to whetherIshtar is predominantlythe consequence of a mantleupflow or downflow.Upflow is favoredby the extensivevolcanic plain of Lakshmiand the high geoid: topography ratio; downflow is favoredby the intense deformationof themountain belts and the absence of majorrifts.
