In 1950, radio astronomers confirmed by two probes, namely Mariner and Venera, that Venus is the hottest planet in our solar system.

Welcome to a new segment of Project Nova, our Fact of The Week! We will be posting fascinating facts about space every week to increase your knowledge in astronomy. Don’t worry, it won’t get too nerdy :)

This week’s fact focuses on a common misconception about the hottest planet in our solar system. Many people believe that Mercury — being the closest planet to the sun, our source of heat — is the hottest planet in our solar system. However, things aren’t always what they seem.

Things are getting a little intense in this #HubbleFriday image… This majestic spiral galaxy is called NGC 4666, and it’s going through an episode of rapid star formation – earning it a classification as a “starburst galaxy” by astronomers: go.nasa.gov/3BNZ0pn

As we prepare to venture deeper into the great beyond in our own individual journeys, we hand over the reigns to a new team with new visions and a greater enthusiasm to study the final frontier. #GMA #projectnova @KNargish @rajeshxyzr @GMA_IBDP @DxbModern @sunineog @jay_vini

Today we witnessed the launch of the Mars mission that will finally answer the age old question, did Mars ever hold life? Along with Hope and Tianwen-1, Perseverance paves a road that will lead to much more discovery on our red neighbor than ever before. #projectnova #mars2020

Mars 2020, the mission that will get us closer to colonization, but how? Read more about NASA's new mars mission in our new post. #GMA #projectnova #Mars2020 @KNargish @rajeshxyzr @GMA_IBDP @DxbModern @NASAJPL

We are stardust uncovering the secrets of the universe and we've only scratched the surface. Join us as we keep up with the scientists on our journey to understand the cosmos. Join Project Nova as we study the final frontier. #gma @KNargish @rajeshxyzr @GMA_IBDP @DxbModern
