- Abstract:
The article discusses research investigating the formation of magnetotails around the planet Venus. Topics include observations by the Venus Express magnetometer and low-energy particle detector that suggests Venus' magnetic tails may be more dynamic than originally thought, the effect of a process called magnetic reconnection on the magnetotails of Venus and comets, and an in-depth analysis of the differences in the magnetotails of planets with intrinsic magnetic fields, such as Mercury, Earth, and the outer planets, and Venus and comets.
