Venus, our closest planetary neighbor, has the slowest rotational period of any world in our solar system — and according to data recently gathered by the European Space Agency's Venus Express orbiter, it's getting slower. (sciencemag.org)
It was discovered that Venus» slow rotational period of 117 Earth days, in conjunction with the ancient analogue of our Sun used in the study, combined to create a hospitable surface temperature only a few degrees cooler than the temperature on present - day Earth. (newatlas.com)
Astronomers studied 30 stars, with masses between 80 and 140 percent as massive as the Sun, exhibiting rotational periods between four and 23 days. (techtimes.com)
