Autumnal Equinox, c. -2349

Venus-Earth Intersect

Modern cometary aspects of Venus -- an artist's rendering for ESA.
Sketch of the ionospheric environment of Venus (from Brace et al., 1983). Thermal plasma clouds and holes are formed, respectively, above the ionopause near the terminator and deep inside the central part of the nightside ionosphere.
Sketch of the magnetic and plasma stream lines around Venus. (right) Formation of the induced magnetotail of Venus from draped interplanetary field. (from Luhmann and Brace, 1991)
Schematic illustration of the plasmoid formation and disconnected plasma tail events during the magnetic reconnection observed in the modern-day near Venusian tail. (from Zhang, et al., "Magnetic Reconnection in the Near Venusian Magnetotail")
Tiamat -- dragon seen round the world -- Venus plasmoid + intense arc discharges
A silk embroidering with nine suns (in the upper right) from a Western Han tomb at Mawangdui. [Allan 1991] suggests that the tenth sun (wandering star Venus?) is absent because it is traveling through the sky at the time.
