Presence of Phosphine on Venus

[edit]

The statement "By late October 2020, re-analysis of data with a proper subtraction of background did not result in the detection of phosphine" seems to have now itself been rendered outdated by the original team[1] who has now found a smaller amount of phosphine but still seems to have found phosphine none the less. Maybe amending this section to say the status of phosphine is still uncertain considering the multiple contradictory analyses of the atmosphere are now available. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dmesco17 (talkcontribs)

Centered images for Venus?

[edit]

Every other planet wiki page has the planet prominently centered in the frame. Venus is the only exception. Do we know if there is a color accurate photo of Venus with the same quality as the MESSANGER photo where the planet isn't cropped? CherrySoda (talk) 23:32, 22 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

There is no reason to maintain perfect consistency between articles of a kind in every metric one can articulate. Due to Venus's lack of visible surface features, it is reasonable that nothing is lost here. See WP:OTHERCONTENT. Remsense ‥  23:40, 22 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
This seems to me to be a very good photo and placement. It's as if the viewer receives the effect of traveling towards and around Venus, all within a still photograph. Randy Kryn (talk) 02:21, 23 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It should also be noted that, to my knowledge, no probe has caught a mostly-illuminated disc in visible light without some cropping/artifact, and no mosaic of visible-light images (at least those whose licenses are compatible with Wikimedia) seems to be around. Visible light imagery is predictably of very low importance in Venusian exploration, so unfortunately I don't believe this will change anytime soon.
