What if Venus once had a moon… but swallowed it billions of years ago? 😨🌌

Computer simulations suggest that if Venus ever had a moon, it may have spiraled inward and collided with the planet. But that’s not the only mystery. Venus is covered with enormous fractures, and scientists are still investigating how active this strange world remains beneath its deadly clouds.

Could a lost moon have helped shape Venus into the scorching planet we see today? The answer remains unknown.
