Venus - Earth's Lost Twin

- If you look to the night sky, there is one object (besides the moon) that outshines the rest- our nearest neighbour planet, Venus. Today, Venus is a torrid, toxic planet, and very different to Earth. But the two planets share a similar size, mass and composition, and both are made out of the same materials- and we know think that Venus was once an Earth-like water world for billions of years. So why is Venus such a scorched wasteland today, while Earth has prevailed for billions of years?
Could there be life on Venus? Scientists have discovered apparent evidence for phosphine molecules in Venus’ upper atmosphere clouds! Check out the article:

Scientists might have found traces of biological processes in the clouds above Venus! This is huge!
www.nature.com/articles/s41550-020-1174-4
I’m still placing my bets on it being some geologic thing, I would love if this is true but we don’t have know how it forms on Earth very well we are just pretty sure it’s biological only.
@@1brianm7 I doubt it due to the likelihood of it being extremely volatile in such environments. Also it was found at the perfect location
I agree; every abiotic source for phosgene cannot produce a 15 sigma signal,..this IS huge.
We need to collect samples from it’s balmy atmosphere and return it to Earth ASAP. I know that there was several different methods/ideas being floated for how to do this (it’s easier than sampling Mars since we don’t have to land and take off again), maybe now these ideas will be fast tracked.
LOL isn’t it crazy? After all this time, it was YOU, Venus...lol
lies,all lies,,the sumerians were NOT, mesopotamian,they tought them,& the greeks,& everybody else.they were taught astrology,math,science,the universes planets,x 12,by our creators.GET YOUR FACTS RIGHT.. !!.

Gotta give the Russian engineers props for managing to build something that could land in and survive such extreme conditions. Even surviving long enough to send images and data back to earth.
Totally! Space exploration is the one thing that unites nations
Seriously, a hell of an accomplishment
Yeah but we still landed on the moon first. U.S.A.! U.S.A.!
In Russia extreme conditions survive you. (I don't even know what that means XD)
and even make 9 hours of sound recordings from the surface. Sounds like a hurricane
Mars: cold and frigid.
Venus: hot and thicc.

@@AksamRafiz Phosphine, an organic compound, was purportedly discovered in the atmosphere of Venus. This is currently disputed. It may simply be sulfur dioxide which is quite common for Venus.
Kickin ass
The scientists behind it all won the men's butts award for science breakthrough that year, if I'm not mistaken.
You spoke too soon. Today, June 28, 2021 they put out their findings showing there is nowhere near the amount of water within the clouds to support any life. Almost 100x too little water and the scientists say there's zero chance of life in the Venusian clouds.
I’ve been focusing on Venus in the sky recently and it’s simply beautiful.
It really is. Take it in while you can, as we won't see it again until 2028
I can’t wait
Me too.. it's too easy to spot and too beautiful..
Douglas Sirk look west and you should see an extremely bright object and that will be Venus
@Douglas Sirk Currently the brightest object aside from the sun and moon.
I'm Russian and I never knew our thing landed on Venus first. By the way it's called Venera because it is simply Venus in Russian.

He misspoke. Get over it.
The Sun isn't necessarily IN the solar system as much as Sol, IS the Sol System. If you don't count Sol, Venus is next, then likely Mercury.

It’s kinda scary to think about how one day the Earth will end up like Venus as the sun exits its main sequence
Eggroll .
We, as a species, absolutely have to get off of this rock. Otherwise, nothing else we do, will ultimately matter. Until we manage to leave Earth, we're just living on borrowed time.
james kenyon
It's not something that's going to happen next week, or even in the next few million years, but our understanding of the Sun indicates that it will not go nova, but it will absolutely expand as it exhausts the initial hydrogen fuel and begins to fuse helium.
At that point, all the rocky planets, will at best cook like Venus has, or more likely simply become completely molten.
This is predicted to happen within the next 4 to 6 billion years.
Additionally, current propulsion, and really all energy sources, require a 'cold reservoir' to which we can transfer heat. So the longer we wait to expand our civilization to the stars, the harder it will be to get us there. Plus, the required materials are being consumed or destroyed at an alarming rate already.
We have to leave Earth, or we are doomed. That doesn't mean you, me, and our grandkids. But Humanity, as a species, has to leave the nest sometime, as the tree that nest is in, is dying.
The clock stands at 2.5 billion years currently, and it's already ticking.
james kenyon
Just about any reputable scientific publication can explain the fusion mechanics of the sun, as it's no different from any other garden variety main sequence star.
I feel like you're confusing the electromagnetic effects of Sol's fusion reactions, to be the actual driving system.
EM spectrum emmisions are a byproduct of fusion, that life has evolved to use as an energy sources, but it's more of a waste product than anything, from the perspective of stars.
I'd be doing a disservice to physics professors around the world if I tried to explain the nuclear and particle physics of the sun myself, but a quick Google search will send you the right direction for a full understanding of stellar fusion principles
As a side note, as I have a feeling you might be drawing on the 'electric universe' theory more than one should - that explanation of stellar mechanics is based on a very flawed and incomplete model. It's an appealing theory to the common person, but it has some serious problems when tested against observations, and what we know from experiments in fission and fusion reactors here on Earth. I'd strongly suggest abandoning that theory as it will hamper proper understanding of the underlying mechanics regarding several science disciplines.
james kenyon
I've heard of it. The EU theory, while supported if we only consider the research of Tesla (and let's not down play his accomplishes - he was a brilliant and visionary mind), does not match with the work of Hawking, Einstein, Thorne, Plank, Penrose, Dyson, Freeman, and other esteemed minds.
One of the greatest challenges facing modern physics today is getting the Newtonian mechanics world to play nicely with the atomic and particle physics world. If someone finds a way to marry Newton and QFT, they'll be next in line for the Nobel prize.
I don't expect that we will be able to sway one another to the 'other side', so to speak. But I appreciate how we are able to discuss both theories at a conceptual level and maintain respect for the person making the argument. That's rare in TubeLand, so here's to you.
On a side note - if you're looking for the mind blower of the week, check out how electric current causes a magnetic field, from the relativistic perspective. I sort of intuitively knew it, but seeing it fully explained is just crazy.
james kenyon Damn, your head is denser than Mercury’s atmosphere.

I miss smoking...used to be my favorite thing to do.
I want what he's smoking
@@yaboykris2118 sometimes I do, but it messed up my head. I haven't smoked for like 3 months and I feel like me again. I used to smoke everyday for many years but know I feel lot better without it. It's okay I think from time to time but still not ideal.
When someone asks me how old I am while living on Venus:
I’m 43 days old but I’m only 39 years old.
I wonder if there was a time when Venus and Earth's oceanic phase overlapped.. or even that of Mars. Could our Solar System have once had three oceanic worlds at the same time?
I wonder if Venus had a natural satellite similar to our own moon if that would have altered its environment quite a bit, maybe set into place some plate tectonics on the planet, etc. It would have been really cool if we had an actual habitable planet literally right next door practically identical to Earth. Oh well, really puts into focus just how finicky conditions for a stable environment can be.
*Edited for atrocious grammar
I thought the same thing Douglas. Maybe computer systems will be able to run a simulation, once more knowledge becomes known about the true effects of a companion satellite. I don't think we have all the information needed (at this time) to run a simulation that would match how nature would do it. It would be cool to find out though. A strong magnetic field for Venus probably wouldn't hurt too, if we're trying to create a life supporting planet...
There is this odd thing about Venus, there are reports from astronomers circa 17th century that it did have an moon like object orbiting it but few hundred years later no sign of this. Either those a few hundred years ago screwed up badly, or something happened to Venus' moon.
@61 Cygni You assume it would be worth to send/invest that much resources to colonize. Not to mention if Venusians would kick our asses off their planet in the first place. Or perhaps we'd form a planetary union together.
@61 Cygni Colonization does not equal destruction. It is our ultimate destiny as humans if we are to survive as a species. To paint it as something negative is suicidal ideation.
@@Mate397 Highly doubtful, if there was a moon there, we would have seen the influence a moon would have had on it, and then seen the violent effects of what happened when that moon was taken away. Not only that, but we would have seen the remnants of said moon orbiting the planet if it were destroyed, unless for some incredible reason it were just flung randomly into open space.
Story of Venus is likely the story of Earth in the far future when the Sun expands as it gets older.
She has been particularly bright recently.
Ms. Goddess of Beauty or something is boutta fire huge orbital laser towards little earth

Venus has fascinated me ever since I first observed it through a telescope. Astronomy, Physics, mysteries, great channel!
I felt sorry for Venus about how it stopped being able to keep its water atmosphere :(
Me Too
It's a rocky planet, not a sentient being, so there's nothing to feel emotional about. All the changes Venus has undergone are completely natural, therefore they were always meant to be.
Turrican60 okay
@@Turrican60 whatever
@@Turrican60 Douche.
Venus has seemed so extraordinarily bright these past weeks. It’s as if i’ve never seen it before.
Because of less pollution in the air maybe
Yes, like mogdad is saying: probably because of less air pollution, also it's a new moon and the last few days the sky was darker because of that. Best conditions for Venus to shine.
@THE SUZZ I don't know why this reply is highlighted, since it states what already was said by someone else and me before.

"Venus is the hottest place in the Solar System."
I'm pretty sure the Sun is hotter.
No Venus is the hottest
Both replies above are fucking stupid as shit. First of all, only a dumbass will believe that Venus is warmer than the Sun. Second of all, just because it's a star doesn't mean it's still not the hottest "place" in the solar system. The dude said "place", not "planet", Venus is the hottest "planet" on the solar system, and the sun is the hottest fucking anything overall in our solar system. Either the narrator messed up planet with place or he just straight up said something wrong.

Hi proto
Wolfenstein moment
17:45 And Venuses other best days are in front of her. When we finally will start to accept the present that she gives to us by her mere existence, and when we stop shunning her because we talk ourselves into believing that we can't bear her fierceness and begin to realize that her fierceness is just a superficial character trait, realize that some day she can be as gentle a wife to our descendants as Earth can be a gentle mother. A fearsome wife that can even take on the burden of the even more fearsome humans without being crushed under their weight. What we will learn through Venuses harsh treatment will lower the burden that the human brothers and sisters that stay home in the nest will put on Earth. So mother Earth will thank us.
Poetic yet naive. Venus will never be habitable by humans. It’s placement in the system and basic geology wont let humans ever inhabit it

You're effectively saying that you have confidence in Mankind's ability to survive countless millions - if not billions - of years into the future. Well, I certainly don't share your unfounded optimism. Judging by how highly irresponsible our species is when it comes to exploiting mother Earth's resources (not to mention our incessant poisoning of land, air and seas)....well, we'll be lucky if we're still here just two centuries from now.
