A research group, including Assistant Professor Hiroki Kashimura of the Graduate School of Science at Kobe University and Associate Professor Norihiko Sugimoto of the Department of Physics, Faculty of Law at 东京不够热, has discovered a giant streak structure in the clouds covering Venus through observations by Japan's Venus Climate Orbiter "Akatsuki." Furthermore, they have unraveled the mechanism of this streak structure using large-scale numerical simulations.
These research findings were published on January 9 in the British scientific journal "Nature Communications."
