Listen "Wavelength windows"
Episode Synopsis
Gathering data from above Venus' thick atmosphere is very difficult. A remarkable series of spectral windows allow Venus Express instruments to 'see' through to the surface. The existence of these spectral windows was unknown until the early 1980s when they were discovered, as many key scientific phenomena are, by chance. ESApod audio programme
