1
00:00:10,633 --> 00:00:13,266
On the hottest planet in the solar system –

2
00:00:13,266 --> 00:00:16,866
a probe descends through a thick, poisonous atmosphere.

3
00:00:16,866 --> 00:00:20,000
It is both a time capsule, and time machine –

4
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:22,800
unlocking secrets of the ancient past,

5
00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:27,633
while revealing how a world can turn from possibly habitable to horrible.

6
00:00:27,633 --> 00:00:28,533
The location?

7
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:30,033
Venus!

8
00:00:30,033 --> 00:00:34,433
Our sister planet has much to tell us about our own, and exoplanets,

9
00:00:34,433 --> 00:00:38,600
helping ignite a scientific renaissance for our universe.

10
00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:41,733
The mission, brought to you by NASA Goddard and its partners,

11
00:00:41,733 --> 00:00:43,033
is aptly named …

12
00:00:43,033 --> 00:00:47,533
DAVINCI plus - the first U.S. probe mission to Venus in over forty years.

13
00:00:47,900 --> 00:00:50,933
With the probe acting as chemistry lab and photographer,

14
00:00:50,933 --> 00:00:54,933
other cameras will map and gather additional views of the planet from above,

15
00:00:54,933 --> 00:00:58,533
providing a new study of Venus that has scientific implications

16
00:00:58,533 --> 00:01:01,066
well beyond our own solar system.

17
00:01:01,066 --> 00:01:05,633
DAVINCI plus will give us a new understanding of planetary evolution.

18
00:01:05,633 --> 00:01:11,233
Launching in 2029, three years will be spent exploring our celestial neighbor.

19
00:01:11,233 --> 00:01:15,166
DAVINCI plus … coming soon to a planet near you!
