Theory of Venus' Liquid Water Debunked by Researchers

  • A team of astronomers has found that Venus has never been habitable, despite decades of speculation that our closest planetary neighbour was once much

The article from Mirage News discusses a study that challenges the theory suggesting Venus once had oceans of liquid water. Researchers from the University of Geneva and the National Centre of Competence in Research (NCCR) PlanetS have used advanced computer simulations to model Venus's climate evolution. Their findings indicate that Venus's thick atmosphere, primarily composed of carbon dioxide, would have created a strong greenhouse effect, making the surface temperature too high for liquid water to exist. Instead, any water present would have evaporated into steam, contributing to an even stronger greenhouse effect. This study suggests that Venus has always been a dry, inhospitable planet, debunking the idea that it could have had Earth-like conditions in the past. The research was published in the journal Nature, highlighting the implications for understanding planetary habitability and the potential for life on other planets.
