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!
