      Tell me about it. It gets even crazier knowing that Venus used to have habitable conditions way back. Now its so hot it rains molten lead.

      You should check out Saturn’s moon Titan, it has conditions very similar to very early earth, except instead of liquid water, it’s so cold that there’s methane lakes on the surface. It’s a pretty good target for the search for extraterrestrial life. Those and the icy moons like Europa and Ganymede with liquid oceans under their frozen crusts. The moons are really exciting and there’s so many of them in our solar system

    I have always loved these Venus surface photos, I really wish there were more beyond the Venera probes as I find the planet wonderful to learn about. Maybe in another lifetime.

    Its weird how there’s oxygen only on earth and no traces of oxygen on all the plants discovered so far.
