Venus is still a planet full of imagination for humans. However, if humans in the past are curious about the current situation, then modern people are curious about the past of Venus: that is, have civilizations ever existed on Venus? Why do many people pay attention to Venus civilization?
1. Venus: The Hope of the past
Once upon a time, modern astronomers had an imagination about the planets around the earth: Since the earth can have life, then, does the moon, Mars , and even Venus and the Sun have life? Since humans could only rely on the astronomical telescope for their exploration of aliens at that time, Venus, which is wrapped in a thick atmosphere, is not an object that people like to observe. On the contrary, the moon and Mars were the topics that were popular in the astronomy community at that time. Moreover, people believe that there is html April 5 on the moon, and there may be organisms in the moon sea; there are canals on Mars, and people on Mars seem to be keen on water conservancy projects. In addition, physicists on Earth also launched radio signals to Mars in the early 20th century, hoping that , Martian could receive it and give a reply. Of course, we know in modern times: there are no creatures on Mars. Naturally, humans can't send any response from the past.
With the continuous development of astronomy, cosmology and even astrobiology , people have gradually realized that the conditions of the moon and Mars are not enough to support life to survive here. Naturally, life cannot exist on Mars and the moon. On the contrary, Venus is wrapped in the atmosphere and the telescope cannot directly observe it. Perhaps, there will be creatures and even civilizations on Venus?
So, Venus ignited the hope of human beings in search of extraterrestrial civilization.
2. The terrifying Venus
Around the 1960s, in order to figure out the situation of Venus, the former Soviet Union launched a large number of detectors on Venus. Finally, with the hard work of former Soviet scientists, the truth about Venus was discovered by humans, but at the same time, disappointment also came: Compared with Venus, Mars is considered a paradise - at least, Mars is only dry and desolate without oxygen , while Venus, the surface temperature alone is around 500 degrees Celsius - many of the former Soviet detectors were devastated because they could not tolerate the high temperature of Venus.
In addition, there are often storms on Venus that are more violent than typhoon on Earth. And it is a state of "storm and storm". Of course, this "rain" is not composed of water on the earth, but of sulfuric acid.
In the wind and rainy climate of Venus, even if the detectors of the former Soviet Union could tolerate the high temperature of Venus, they could not stand the "storm" of Venus. The detector of the Venus environment is still unable to work for a long time, let alone the living creatures survive on it.
For the terrifying situation of Venus, humans therefore believe that continuing to study Venus is no longer of great significance. Therefore, the astronomy community turned to pay more attention to Mars.
3, Venus' past
However, during the exploration of Venus, humans still obtained a large number of photos of Venus' situation. For example, the famous Maxwell Mountain is a very famous landmark on Venus. By studying photos on Venus, humans suddenly discovered that there are a large number of urban ruins on Venus, and the buildings in these cities are very similar in appearance to the pyramids on the earth. So, some people then had a guess: Maybe once, civilizations existed on Venus? However, because of the deterioration of Venus' environment, the demise of Venus civilization? And these buildings are evidence that the Venus civilization once existed?
After all, although Venus cannot allow life to survive now, it does not mean that Venus cannot become a paradise of life hundreds of millions of years ago or even billions of years ago.
So humans became interested in the past of Venus - including what was the creature that Venus used to be like? The start and end time of Venus civilization, and even the height that Venus civilization once reached.
However, with the deepening of human research on Venus in recent years, the statement about Venus civilization seems to have been overturned.
4. The end of the Venus Ocean
There was a theory that Venus existed billions of years ago.Therefore, just as the ancient Earth ocean gave birth to the earth's creatures, the ancient Venus' ocean may have also given birth to the ancient Venus.
However, in recent years, scientists have overturned the theory of Venus Ocean. Scholars believe that Venus has never produced the ocean from beginning to end. And there are a large number of volcanoes on Venus. This causes a large amount of carbon dioxide to be released after the volcanic eruption. These carbon dioxides are not restricted by the ocean, causing Venus' greenhouse effect to become more and more intense. The history of Venus' evolution has not left any time window for Venus to nurture life.
The so-called urban ruins of Venus are probably just a misunderstanding: for example, the scenery on Venus is just like urban ruins, but it is not. What's more, even if the environment of Venus exists in cities, it cannot be preserved from hundreds of millions of years ago to today.
