Did Venus Eat Its Own Moon?
10 hours ago
- Venus is similar to Earth in size and mass, but has no moon, unlike Earth.
- A new study suggests Venus likely had a moon that eventually crashed into the planet after 30 million to 1.7 billion years.
- The moon's destruction or survival depended on factors like its mass and Venus's initial rotational speed.
- Upcoming missions like NASA's DAVINCI could help confirm why Venus lacks a moon.
