Venus wasn’t always hot and uninhabitable. Scientists think the second planet from the sun could have had as much water as Earth billions of years ago, and may have even supported life if any of that water was in liquid form. But researchers have a new theory as to how our neighbor in the solar system lost nearly all of its water and why it may have happened far faster than initially thought. The Conversation has more on the study.
