Study Ends Speculations: Venus Never Had Oceans or Life, Remains Inhospitable
Dec 2, 2024, 08:23 PM
New research published in Nature Astronomy suggests that Venus, often referred to as Earth's 'evil twin,' has never hosted liquid water or been habitable. The findings, led by Cambridge University scientists, indicate that Venus's interior has been dry for most of its history, with hydrogen levels too low to support the presence of water. This challenges previous theories that Venus may have had oceans and was once similar to Earth, ending decades of speculations. The study highlights Venus's inhospitable and scorching environment and refines the search for life-supporting exoplanets by emphasizing the importance of Earth-like conditions in habitability assessments.
