Ten Mysteries of Venus

10.20.2021
The surface of Venus is inhospitable for life: barren, dry, crushed under an atmosphere about 90 times the pressure of Earth’s and roasted by temperatures two times hotter than an oven. Was it always that way? Could Venus have been a habitable world with oceans? This is one of many mysteries associated with Venus that DAVINCI will investigate.
