Venus is one of the closest planets to Earth in orbit around the Sun — the other being Mars, of course — but it’s still incredibly mysterious. Its surface is shrouded in thick clouds and temperatures there are hot enough to incinerate you in an instant. Its beefy atmosphere is much denser than that of Earth and is almost entirely carbon dioxide. Studying it has proven difficult for astronomers, but NASA’s Parker Solar Probe recently gathered some incredible data from Venus without even trying.

Jacinda Ardern's speech at the China Business Summit was a crowd-pleaser. Geoffrey Miller explains its role in the "rebalancing" of New Zealand's orientation to China and the West.
OPINION: For critics who believed she had gone soft on China, Jacinda Ardern's line that differences between China and New Zealand were becoming "harder to reconcile" will be interpreted as tough talk. They will see the speech as backtracking and stepping back from what they considered an appeasement-like stance from Ardern's foreign minister, Nanaia Mahuta.
