Description:
On May 20, 1978, NASA launched a spacecraft to Venus. <br/><br/>The mission was called Pioneer-Venus 1, but it’s also known as the Pioneer Venus Orbiter. This was the first of two spacecraft that made up the Pioneer Venus mission. Pioneer Venus 2 launched a couple months later, and that spacecraft dropped five probes onto the surface of Venus. NASA called this the Pioneer Venus Multiprobe. The orbiter was designed to study the atmosphere of Venus. It was a solar-powered cylinder about the size of a hot tub. The mission launched from Cape Canaveral on an Atlas-Centaur rocket and reached Venus about six months later. While orbiting Venus, it measured the structure of the upper atmosphere and studied how the solar wind interacts with its ionosphere and magnetic field. It also detected gamma-ray bursts and made ultraviolet observations of comets. Pioneer Venus 1 continued to beam back data for 14 years before its decaying orbit sent it into Venus’s atmosphere, where it was destroyed.

Currently, the indications are favorable, with fund managers having allocated over $4 billion in net inflows to the eleven spot bitcoin ETFs approved by the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on January 11.Kendrick anticipates a shift in the US 401K market, with retirement fund managers expected to allocate funds to the recently launched ETFs. Additionally, he projected an overall net inflow of approximately $50 billion to $100 billion into spot bitcoin ETFs in 2024. Regarding ether, he foresees the approval of spot ether ETFs by the SEC in May, leading to a net inflow ranging between $20 billion and $35 billion into spot ether ETFs throughout 2024.</p>")
