Hot Flow Anomalies Are Amazing Phenomenon On Venus – With Video

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.
Hot flow anomalies release so much energy that the solar wind is deflected, and can even move back toward the Sun.
That’s a lot of energy when you consider that the solar wind is supersonic, traveling faster than the speed of sound and the HFA is strong enough to make it turn around.
As the solar wind flows around Venus, it creates similar space weather effects as it does near Earth, but rememeber that Venus has no protective magnetic field, so the explosion happens right above the surface of the planet! Rest of article with all images and video here:
