Venus by night

Japan is looking at the dark side... of Venus. The article is scheduled tomorrow but ScienceDaily has brought it to our hemisphere, tonight!

What the Japanese are teaching us is that... well, you know the Meridional winds blowing from equator to the pole, that this blog was talking about Before TwennyTwenny? They reverse at night.

That's good news for keeping cloud-cities at 50°, especially north where I'd had 'em. They might drift to the polar vortex over the day, but then at night they'll drift back. Less energy needed to keep them there.
