What sets our home planet 🌍 apart from our sister next door? 🌔☁️🔥 On Thu 6 Nov @ 14:00 UTC, Diogo Lourenço will be our next #RockyWorldsDiscussion speaker and tell us how bulk composition & lava flows impact long-term evolution of our neighbour Venus

Astronomy Picture of the Day (APOD) from 30 January 2018: "Venus at Night in Infrared from Akatsuki" - Image Credit: JAXA, ISAS, DARTS; Processing & Copyright: Damia Bouic. Description from the APOD caption: In the featured image taken by Akatsuki's IR2 camera, Venus's night side shows a jagged-edged equatorial band of high dark clouds absorbing infrared light from hotter layers deeper in Venus' atmosphere. The bright orange and black stripe on the upper right is a false digital artifact that covers part of the much brighter day side of Venus. Analyses of Akatsuki images and data has shown that Venus has equatorial jet similar to Earth's jet stream.

Cloudy with a chance of... haze? Aerosol? Carbon dioxide?!🌦️

Next #RockyWorldsDiscussion on Thu 2 Oct @ 13:00 UTC will feature Kazumasa Ohno (NAOJ) and recent JWST results that lift the hazy veil on the composition of sub-Neptune #exoplanet GJ 1214 b 🪐🔭🧪

He is against a background of what appears to be other people as the photo is seemingly cropped from a group photo. Artistic illustration of sub-Neptune TOI-421 b. A hypothetical exoplanet with similar banding to Jupiter, but in blue colours, is shown in the foreground. In the distant, the planet's host star is shown, which is a warm golden colour and shows diffraction spikes. Image credit: SciTechDaily.com

#RockyWorldsDiscussion is back from our summer break! 🔭🧪

Our next speaker is Laura Schaefer from Stanford University, who will tell us about redox gradients in planet formation simulations of terrestrial planets 🌍🌕🪨 Join us on Zoom on Thu 4 Sep @ 16:00 UTC

She is against a background of a large rock with some grass visible near the bottom, clearly outdoors. An artistic conception of early Earth showing the planet's surface impacted by asteroids. Earth is shown with partial oceans and the land that is visible is covered in clear craters. Part of the Earth (bottom left) is also shown as covered by lava or a magma ocean.

The formation of sub-Neptunes is a steamy topic – literally! 😶‍🌫️ Remo Burn from MPIA will present "Between Steam and Stone: The Role of Volatile Delivery, Phase, & Partitioning in Setting Planetary Radii" on Thu 3 July @ 13:00 UTC 🪐☄️🔭 🧪 #RockyWorldsDiscussion

An image of the speaker, Remo Burn. He is smiling and looking into the camera. He is wearing a blue blazer jacket with a white shirt and pink-red tie. He is against a blurred, stony background with some greenery. An artist's interpretation of the water-rich atmosphere of K2-18b. The planet's surface and atmosphere is in the foreground, where the surface looks orange/brown (similar to Mars) and is dotted by some pale clouds. The upper atmosphere is diffuse and steam-like, and grey/blue in colour. In the background is a red/orange host star, seemingly quite active, and another planetary body is between this foreground planet and the host. The other body also appears to have a diffuse atmosphere around it. Image credit: Alex Boersma

Machine learning 🤖 + spectrometry 🧪 = astrobiology? 🌱🪐☄️🔭 Michael Wong @miquai.bsky.social & Anirudh Prabhu @anirudhprabhu.bsky.social of Carnegie EPL will discuss new biosignature detection methods at the next #RockyWorldsDiscussion Thu 5 June @ 13:00 UTC!

Two images side-by-side of the speakers. Both speakers are smiling and looking at the camera, and both are stood against a blurry, leafy background. Left: Michael Wong. He is wearing a pink shirt over a graphic tee. The bottom half of it is cut off, but the top half is seen to say "Support Your..." above what appears to be a globe. Right: Anirudh Prabhu. He is wearing an off-white button-down shirt with a faintly pin-striped black blazer over it. Artist’s conception of what life could look like on the surface of a rocky exoplanet. A planetary surface, similar to that of Mars or desert-regions of Earth, covers the image horizontally. The sky is a dark brownish orange-red, not dissimilar in colours of the surface. In the foreground, there is a green lagoon-looking pool, with an underwater cave visible beneath the clear water surface. In the background, in the sky, a close-up and seemingly active star (Sun) with three minor planetary bodies in front of it like moons. Image credit: NASA

Whatever happened to Venus?! 🪐☁️🔥 Join us for the next #RockyWorldsDiscussion on Thu 6 Feb @ 14:00 UTC (on Zoom) to hear Michael Way tell us about the climate history of our toasty neighbour Venus and recent work reanalyzing in-situ data from Pioneer Venus 🛰️

He is wearing a light purple shirt and a darker purple tie with black trousers. He is also wearing a conference lanyard around his neck. First color images from the surface of Venus (Soviet Venera missions). The sky is a hazy yellow and the ground is dark rock or soil (I think? Sorry, I'm no geologist!!) with cracks in it. It looks quite a lot like dried-out Earth ground! Image Credit: NASA National Space Science Data Center/Harvard Micro Observatory/Don P. Mitchell
