Every once in awhile I read a news release and do a facepalm. I note that "simulations" are not "evidence" and chaos (and uncertainty) works backward in time too. - Anthony From EurekAlert - Venus had Earth-like plate tectonics billions of years ago, study suggests Simulations produced by a Brown-led research team offer evidence that

Providence RI (SPX) Oct 30, 2023 - Venus, a scorching wasteland of a planet according to scientists, may have once had tectonic plate movements similar to those believed to have occurred on early Earth, a new study found. The finding

Researchers discovered Venus tectonic plate shift happened at the same time as Earths, raising questions about whether life on the planet existed at some point.

The InSight rover reveals a new map of Mars' interior. Its core is enveloped by a layer of molten rock. Measurements and analysis carried out in 2021 by NASA's now-retired InSirst rover. Scientists found that the Martian core is not composed only or practically only of iron, but also contains sulfur and oxygen, which are light elements. Scientists say that the core has a higher proportion of lighter elements than is feasible, based on estimates that had been made of the abundance of thes...
