Venus: Earth's evil twin As the first mission in a decade reaches toxic, red-hot Venus, Steve Connor asks, what can we learn from our nearest neighbour?
Gee I dunno know, maybe; "this is what global warming looks like".Mass extinctions a risk: Climate study
But something happened to Venus that turned it into the hellish place it is today. Rather than possessing oceans of liquid water and a life-sustaining atmosphere, Venus is a dry, hot place with a runaway greenhouse effect that traps heat tightly to its surface. For all its similarities to Earth, Venus is in fact a very different type of planet to its nearest neighbour. Over the next two years, Venus Express should help to explain why our close neighbour has turned from a potentially habitable haven to a place of hellish activity.
And there is that demiurge iconograhy in the headlines again; Venus = the other. Hellish, evil, satanic, etc. Venus firetrap Of course Venus has long been associated with Lucifer, as the morning star.
