DAVINCI Mission: Unveiling Venus' Hidden Past

NASA’s DAVINCI mission, slated for an early 2030s launch, sets its sights on Alpha Regio’s puzzle-like tessera terrain to determine if Venus once boasted Earth-like oceans and continents. Utilizing AI-driven data analysis, the descent probe will reprocess legacy data from Magellan and Pioneer Venus, aiming for stunning 1-meter resolution images beneath thick clouds. Scientists hope these high-res maps will decode Venus’ geological history, offering fresh insights into why our sister planet took a wildly different evolutionary path. Stay curious!
