===Atmosphere of Venus=== The [[Venus Express]] orbiter collected [[Venus]] science data from April 2006 until December 2014. In 2008, Piccioni, ''et al.'' reported measurements of night-side airglow emission in the atmosphere of Venus made with the Visible and Infrared Thermal Imaging Spectrometer (VIRTIS) on Venus Express. They attributed emission bands in wavelength ranges of 1.40–1.49 micrometers and 2.6–3.14 micrometers to vibrational transitions of OH.<ref name="Piccioni Drossart Zasova Migliorini 2008 pp. L29–L33">{{cite journal |last1=Piccioni |first1=G. |last2=Drossart |first2=P. |last3=Zasova |first3=L. |last4=Migliorini |first4=A. |last5=Gérard |first5=J.-C. |last6=Mills |first6=F.
