Venus is a familiar and unfamiliar planet to humans. It is said to be familiar because as early as prehistoric times, humans already had a certain understanding of Venus. Moreover, Venus is also the closest planet to Earth among the planets. But humans are very unfamiliar with Venus: because the environment of Venus is very harsh. Therefore, human exploration of Venus is relatively rare, and the data is relatively limited.
In fact, originally human beings focused more on the exploration of Venus, after all, Mars is far away from the Earth, so there is no need for human beings to seek Venus far away. But reality undoubtedly forces humanity to make the decision to go the other way.
For the current human technology, if human beings want to have a relatively in-depth understanding of an extraterrestrial celestial body, the safest way is to drop a probe on the planet, and then transmit data and ** to the earth through the probe to understand the planet. For example, a lot of what human beings currently know about the Moon and Mars actually comes from the ** and data provided by the probes. A probe can often work on the Moon or Mars for many years.
However, this does not apply in Venus. The surface temperature of Venus is as high as four to five hundred degrees Celsius, and sulfuric acid rain is frequent. Therefore, after the human probe arrives at Venus, the working time can only be calculated in minutes - after all, the degree of corrosion of sulfuric acid makes it difficult for the probe to maintain for two hours, and then it is scrapped.
So we know very little about Venus – and even today, we can analyze the existence of mysterious polygonal materials 35 meters below Mars through probes on Mars. But little is known about the surface and subsurface exploration of Venus.
Because the natural environment of Venus limits human exploration, humans have not been able to determine what the truth of the world of Venus really is. After all, the longest survey of the human probe lasted only about 90 minutes. In fact, on Earth, a travel enthusiast often can't get a comprehensive understanding of a city in 90 minutes, so you can imagine how limited human understanding of Venus is.
Much of humanity's history of Venus is based on speculation, and speculation means that there is a difference between it and reality. Therefore, there is reason to believe that the world of Venus may contain many secrets.
Based on the composition of the Martian atmosphere, humans have analyzed that Mars may have had primitive life in ancient times. In the future, humans may also enter into some relatively in-depth understanding and exploration of Mars. But what humans know about Venus is difficult to find the answers they want.
Because of the perennial sulfuric acid rain on Venus, its corrosion is enough to completely destroy all traces of the past on Venus. We assume that life did exist on Venus in ancient times, and even that there were buildings built by intelligent beings on Venus, but these traces could not be preserved under the destruction of Venus for hundreds of millions of years of sulfuric acid.
Even if one day humans have the ability to modify the environment of Venus and make it habitable, it will not be possible to figure out the history of Venus through archaeology and other technologies.
In fact, Soviet probes sent back some ** from Venus, thinking that the ruins of cities were found on Venus. Although the mainstream scientific community considers this to be a miscalculation. Scientists also admit that Venus's environment, even if there are cities, is not enough to survive in a harsh environment until now.
Therefore, the world of Venus and even the history of Venus are full of mysteries.
