Scientists expected the outermost layer of Venus’s crust would grow thicker and thicker over time given its apparent lack of forces that would drive the crust back into the planet’s interior. But the paper, published in Nature Communications, proposes a crust metamorphism process based on rock density and melting cycles.
In stark contrast to Mars, which has cheesy stuffed crust
And this on the day they put a Chicagoan in charge of the pizza city, it’s new crust info all around…
this as in thin crust pizza or thin as 20 miles thin?
No surprise at all. I studied lots of models and they’re all thin.
Ah so it likes tavern style Chicago pizza, not deep dish
Orange in appearance and thin skinned. Should we worry about an incoming name change of one of our planets?
That’s what they said about the baguettes I made last week, too
I hate thin crust. Always been a deep dish man myself. Venus better get her shit together.
Crème brûlée planet. A spoon shaped landing craft might reveal the underlying inner details.
