Unexplained phenomenon found on Venus. Last week, the astronomers observed a strange bright spot on the planet, but until now scientists have no assumptions about what would have triggered its occurrence. The most common theory suggests that either on Venus awoke the first of the known volcanoes or a typical atmospheric turbulence phenomenon in the atmosphere of the planet, probably related to solar activity.

Unexplained Phenomenon, For the first time the existence of the phenomenon was discovered by the New York amateur astronomer Frank Melilla. He noted that the data on Venus in the ultraviolet range has changed, the change occurred on 19 July in the southern hemisphere of the planet.
Previously, it was reported that on the same day, an amateur astronomer from Australia found a dark spot in Jupiter, which probably was caused by the collision of meteorite or asteroid with the planet.
After 24 hours, the spot on Venus was confirmed by the scientific instruments of European probe Venus Express. Today it is the only device on the planet’s orbit, and when the European Space Agency began to raise the archives data from Venus Express, it turned out that the probe saw another bright spot on July 15.
Astronomers say that the spot is very bright in the ultraviolet spectrum, which shows the natural origin, but not about the impact of meteorite. In the latter case, the spot would be dark, because meteorites are large reserves of water ice, seen in spectrogram in black.
Now most of the specialists inclined to the version of that spot on Venus, that the atmospheric phenomenon caused by solar activity – a dense atmosphere of a gas planet can accumulate a significant portion of solar charged particles and to create something like the polar lights. To prove the theory of appearance of a volcanic eruption is not easy. Astronomers have discovered larger than normal levels of CO2 and sulfur dioxide. On Venus the atmosphere is rich in sulfur.
