Abstract
A Lyman-alpha airglow of atomic hydrogen measured in the outer atmosphere of Venus showed that atomic hydrogen is present. The variation as a function of height indicates that the temperature of the upper atmosphere of Venus is lower than that of Earth. An ultraviolet airglow of atomic oxygen was not found. An ultraviolet nightglow was observed on the dark limb.Keywords
