PLANET VENUS IN 3D (Red/Cyan) |
"Early Venus Had Oceans, May Have Been Habitable" Venus, not Mars, may have been the most likely planet in the solar system to have also developed life, scientists say. The cloud-shrouded planet most likely started with oceans much like Earth's, which evaporated as Venus heated up, according to new research.The oceans didn't disappear overnight, said David Grinspoon of the Denver Museum of Nature and Science. Speaking yesterday at a meeting of planetary scientists in Orlando, Florida, Grinspoon said that preliminary results of new computer models indicate Venus may have retained its oceans for a billion years after it formed, possibly longer. http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2007/10/071011-venus.html
