Study Suggests Venus May Have Lost Its Moon to Gravity
A study from the University of California, Riverside, suggests that Venus may have lost a hypothetical moon due to its slow rotation and gravitational pull, rather than through a catastrophic event. The research indicates that a moon could spiral inward and fragment under Venus' conditions, and it raises questions about the implications for the planet's potential to support life and the habitability of exoplanets.
