Christmas greetings from Venus – with a new educational film
18 December 2007
| | The educational film presented by this trailer illustrates some of the major aspects of the exploration of Venus, all addressed by ESA’s Venus Express mission.
Four scientists, from enchanting locations on Earth, explain Venus’ green-house effect, temperature and talk about the fate of water on our sister planet. One engineer explains the complex job of transforming scientists’ objectives into commands for Venus Express.
(Starring: Jean-Loup Bertaux, Jörn Helbert, Miguel Pérez Ayúcar, Daphne Stam and Colin Wilson, with special collaboration from Federico Nespoli. Soundtrack by: João Luís Lobo. Drawings and paintings by: Patrícia Correia and Cristina Rebelo. Sand Sculpture work by: Wilfred Stijger and Edith van de Wetering).

| | | | | This image was extracted from ‘A question of temperature’, an educational film in which a scientist climbs an apple tree and tells us how to calculate the global temperature of a planet. He talks about why planetary temperatures are important for the overall climate balance, related to the green-house effect - the phenomenon at work on both Earth and Venus.
