Venus is a very dangerous planet—going there is like playing a video game on “Hell Mode.”

In the 1960s and 1970s, the Soviet Union sent robotic probes called Venera to explore it. The probes survived on the surface for less than an hour because the pressure was 90 times stronger than Earth and the temperature was hot enough to melt metal.

But even in their final moments, while they were overheating and breaking apart, they still managed to take the only real photos ever captured from Venus’s surface. Photos from a place no human could ever survive.

Spot the supernova! 💥

In the top right corner, it's so bright that it could be mistaken for a foreground star located in our galaxy, but its home is in the outskirts of a galaxy located 11 million light-years from Earth: https://t.co/SYye2JViCS

🚨: Even if only 0.01% of Earth-like planets in the Milky Way have life, that would still mean 100 million life-hosting worlds in our galaxy alone.

And also a little side note: It’s been long overdue for me, so  I am taking off for a few days of vacations. I’ll be back online next Thursday. I’ll probably do the same next week. In the meantime, have a great weekend, be good (right …) and revisit your favorite posts on PL! Goodnight from Jupiter, Earthlings!
