episode What If We Nuked Venus? cover

Beskrivelse

Venus is often called Earth’s evil twin, similar in size, but completely hostile to life. With crushing pressure, surface temperatures hot enough to melt lead, and a runaway greenhouse effect gone wild, it’s one of the most extreme worlds in the Solar System. But what would actually happen if we detonated nuclear weapons on Venus?
