One of the great mysteries in astronomy has been why Venus has no moon. Now a new theory provides a simple answer: It might have been eaten.

mmmmm…………………yum! Can I have another one!
Saturn devoured his son, now Venus her moon? Watch out Phobos, you’re next!
I scrolled down a few paragraphs, past ads and weird scrolling effects and crap, and gave up, thinking “what is this cheap clickbait piece of crap site, anywa-“
W I R E D !?!!??!?!?!!!
Sounds like a very Venus thing to do honestly.
The whole wheel of cheese?!
We have moon at home.

I imagine a planet whose moon was close to being devoured would have colossal tides and destructive tectonic activity. It would make a good scifi apocalyptic scenario.
Something crazy must’ve went down at Venus given its retrograde spin. Not saying this is it though.
Junji Ito has never told a joke.
I guess Venus is a big back.
