Snap! Venus fly trap fans ask South Carolina to honor plant
"Conservationists are pushing for the Venus flytrap to be South Carolina's official carnivorous plant. The Venus flytrap would join other official items such as the state bird, the Carolina wren, state opera, porgy and bass, and the state snack boiled peanuts, and all South Carolina has about 5 dozen official state things. They're already honored plants, including the official fruit, the peach, supporters say the recitation is about protecting and increasing awareness of an interesting species found only in one spot on the globe, the upper part of the South Carolina coast, and a small sliver of southeast North Carolina.

"That and this is interesting because at that time, if we throw the sun back in here, at that time, Venus will be the morning star. Right now, Venus is the evening star. So there will be this very dramatic change from Venus's perspective, and yet her relationship with Mars will be still the same in terms of their relationship. So her relationship with herself, in a sense, that is her appearing as evening versus morning. Her own relationship with herself will dramatically change in the meantime her relationship with Mars is going to kind of stall out and then be recapitulated back to where it is now. So there's something that will be revisited in September. That's happening now, and so that's why I say, you know, it's important not to, if there's any frustration or lack of follow through or just inability to make something work rather than getting frustrated and tossing it, it might be that actually cultivating much more patience and much more diligence and it will be will ultimately lend to a greater potency when the thing finally does come around. Even though this aspect, as I said, notice that Venus is at 22, Mars is at 21. It doesn't quite perfect. So if you just get the, you know, I got these hits from astrocyte, which has a wonderful set of tools there and there on their website. These are the exact hits for the cycle. Notice that this is unusual in and of itself, none of the aspects are repeated more than once, except the conjunction. And that's unusual in and of itself because if we go back and look like it kind of just depends on where the retrograde happens. In terms of the cycle. If we go back in the cycle before, there were like three squares in the early part of the cycle. If you go back to the cycle before, there were like three tries and three squares in the second half of the cycle. If you go back to the cycle before that, there were like three sex tiles, this part of the cycle that we're in now, there were three exact sex tiles, whereas this time there's going to be two, there's going to be one exact and one that almost. You know?

"So Venus is in the superior position rising first. So let's talk about what that so what that means is that because Venus is coming first, we will tend to want to we will want to attend to Venus things first. So if Mars were rising first, we might act first. We might shoot first and ask questions later, right? Because it's Mars. Boom, hey. Oh, there's something, I don't even know if I want it, but it's there. I'm going to shoot it and then we'll see if it's worth eating. And whereas with Venus rising first, we might be much more particular about, oh, there's something, let's see if there's any value in that thing before acting on it. So Venus has some dignity here, so that's even more true, because she has dignity, she's more likely to say, I know what I want, and I'm kind of going to insist on having that. And not less than that. Because I know what I want. And I'm in a place where I have some power. So why not get what I really want? See? But then Mars is like, well, you know, you know, yeah, I'd like to help you, but I got this that or the other Gemini, I got 17 things going on. And, you know, can we get to it tomorrow? And by tomorrow, she may not even want that thing. Any more. You see? 'cause she's in the fiery sign of areas that's all about the moment, you know? So I get this feeling that this may lead to a sense of something of a sense of like you owe me on the part of the Venus in this equation like, hey, you're supposed to be I'm in your house. You're supposed to be helping me out. And then when I call on you, you're not really available. And like, this isn't really the way it's supposed to be. And I feel like that, you know, there's a field dissatisfied a little bit in that kind of like you owe me. I mean, you know, not necessarily super heavy duty, but a little bit of a sense of like, yeah, this needs to be done better. And this is interesting because as I say, this aspect will actually be nearly repeated later in the year, so there is actually another chance for these to kind of repeat this relationship. And in fact, even though the sextile doesn't become exact, think it comes within 1° of being exact before she begins to pick up speed and moves past. So it'll be like 61° but not quite ever 60, right? And I'll show you more about this with the timing in a little bit. But

"Will. Okay, so during the first half of the cycle, Venus opens up, makes a sex style, then a square, and then a tribe, but all of these aspects are dominated by Mars during the first half of the cycle. And then she makes the opposition to Mars and after that, as she begins to close back in on Mars, she now has the high ground. So the slower planet dominates the second half of the cycle. Sorry, the faster the slower planet dominates the first half of the cycle. The faster planet dominates the second half of the cycle. So as Venus comes around and makes the closing try and the closing square of the closing sextile, which is what this is, this is a closing sextile, Venus, in fact, is an Aries. Applying to conjunction moving towards conjunction with Mars, not moving away from the conjunction, but back to the next one. So Venus is in fact in the superior position of the dominant position of this pairing. Which is important to understand because there's another thing going on here in terms of the dignities that is important to understand in this interaction as well. So if we look at the dignities, Venus has dignity by D can in the last third of Aries. Venus rules the third deacon of various. This is correlated with the four of yuans and the golden dawn system known as the lord of perfected work. So Venus has some ability to do her thing. By way of essential dignity. Mars, on the other hand, in the 24th degree of Gemini, has no essential dignity. But Mars rules the degrees, both by domicile, Mars is the domicile ruler of the entire sign of Ares and Mars is also the bound ruler of the 20 through 25 section. So Mars is the ruler of Venus by bound and by domicile. So because Venus is casting a ray of sex tile to her one of her rulers, this is known as reception. This means that Mars rules the section of the sky where Venus resides. So he is something like her landlord. He and

Green comet zooming our way, last visited 50,000 years ago
"A comet will get close to earth tomorrow. Most people in the northern hemisphere will be able to spot its green tail. The comet is named C two O two two E three ZTF and it last visited us 50,000 years ago during Neanderthal time. Astronomers Jake foster at the royal observatory says the comet should travel about 26 million miles from earth. Sometimes the planet Venus can get closer to us than that. So we certainly not in any danger at all, but we are just close enough that we can get a quite nice view of it. The harmless green comet is already visible in the northern night sky. The green is caused by the effect of the sun's ultraviolet radiation, shining down onto the comet. Indiana University astronomy professor Catherine piski explains what to look for. The comet will appear as a very faint fuzzy patch. It can be seen with binoculars and small telescopes and possibly the naked eye in the darkest corners of the northern hemisphere. I'm Ed Donahue

"Venus may have once been a temperate and wet world. But today, the second planet from the sun is in acidic hothouse. So what caused this change? This is innovation now, bringing you stories behind the ideas that shape our future. A NASA study suggests that volcanic activity lasting thousands of centuries and erupting massive amounts of material may have helped transform Venus. Scientists know that large fields of solidified volcanic rock cover 80% of Venus total surface, but are unsure of how often the events occurred, which created these fields. Although the climate disruptions from large volcanic eruptions on earth have not been sufficient to cause a runaway greenhouse effect, similar eruptions sometime in Venus's ancient history, created a world that boasts surface temperatures of more than 800°F, and an atmosphere with 90 times the surface pressure of earth. NASA's next exploration missions to Venus are scheduled to launch in the late 2020s. The da Vinci and veritas missions aim to study the origin history and present state of Venus in unprecedented detail. So we can better understand how Venus's volatile history created the sweltering world that exists there today. For innovation now, I'm Jennifer pulley.

Reasons.org's Dr. Hugh Ross Gives Specific Examples of Fine-Tuning
"Am overjoyed to be speaking with my guest doctor Hugh Ross. He's the head of reasons to believe ministries has written many, many books on how science and faith are not just compatible, but by how science increasingly points to the clear I should say points to the idea that there is a God who designed the universe and it's become overwhelming the evidence from science. Before we get to the redemptive part that you were just mentioning, doctor Ross, could you explain to the most inspiring fine tuning details? Because a lot of times when I'm talking about this, I'm not a scientist, but people want examples. What do you mean by fine tuning? Give me an example. And if you're talking about the four fundamental laws of physics, that's a little tough for people. They don't normally think in terms of the four fundamental laws. But what is something in terms of fine tuning that maybe people can get their heads around? Well, I'll share one with you that I included just before the book went to press. It was a paper published in the scientific literature where they said, when we look at the early sun, it's pouring out particle radiation, gamma ray and x-ray and flaring activity, about a 100,000 times greater than we see today. And normally this would have sputtered away all of earth's water in all of Earth's atmosphere and our planet would have been permanently sterile. But what happened instead as our solar system started off with 5 rocky planets, mercury, Venus, earth, Mars, and the planet theia. But early in the solar system's history, theia and the Proto earth collided with one another. Made the earth bigger and created a debris cloud around the earth that's coalesced to meet the moon.

"About being like a law giver and like, you know, electric lights became the new law of the land, kind of, again, you know, in not so great away. I mean, there's only one street light anywhere near where I can see, and I'm really thinking about calling the electric company and asking them, can you put something around that thing so that it's not shining in my yard? I mean, I don't know. They'd probably. Maybe it's worth a shot. It never hurts to ask. I suppose if you ask nicely, but anyway, the other thing you'll notice right away is that Edison has Saturn conjunct Bama, which is a royal star. And so here's a person who has a lot of thick star power and thick stars residing in the sphere above Saturn. They often offer eminence. They were seen to be that was one of the things. And certainly, Thomas Edison is an eminent figure, you know? But also, you'll notice that Venus is in Pisces. And the second house. And so if we do the same thing that I do with the mercury elemental year and we look at the Venus conjunction before birth, you notice that it was in Sagittarius and his natal moon is in that part of Sagittarius that last deacon where the sun Venus so he's, you know, there's 5. Right, at this point in time, there's 5 of them. Four of them are on earth and water, and he was born in the one that wasn't. So that's interesting. And then if we look at the one actually, yeah, if we look at the one before his birth, which is where Venus would have made or two before his birth, which is where Venus would have made her halaya rise her first visibility as morning star happened in Pisces. Actually. If we go like a week before birth, what happened right in the middle of Pisces. And he was born with Venus and Pisces. So that's interesting because and what that tells us right away is that Venus was entering the evening sky at the time that is because Venus tends to enter the evening sky in the same place she entered the morning sky, which is kind of interesting. So yeah, but now check this out. The Venus star point after birth is Libra.
Hermetic Astrology Podcast
"venus" Discussed on Hermetic Astrology Podcast
"Yeah. So let's talk about this Venus star point entering Libra. I mean, it's pretty incredible, really, because it's the first time that it's happened in a really long time. Both, I mean, it's the first time that we've had Venus conjunct the sun since the 19th century. I mean, that's a long time, right? Since Edison's lightbulb actually, I was doing some research this morning. I was like, dang, that's wild. And I'm going to show you how that's even more wild here in a second. But let's just soak this in for a second. You know, it's been, it's been a while since the Venus star point, any of the 5 arms of Venus changed signs, you know? Since the 80s. So that's a long time for Venus to begin making conjunctions in a new sign. So this is a pretty momentous occasion and particularly because it's going from a sign of Venus's debility or let's just say a sign that opposes Venus's natural home. Where she is far as far from her from her favorite place as possible versus where she's in one of her favorite places. So, and honestly, you know, with all of the super intense political stuff out there and just everything. Super intense. Honestly, I think we could use a dose of Libra melon at this point in time. I sure could. You know, it's why I live out in the country, man. If I don't turn on the news, I don't got to worry about all that nonsense. I'm looking out my window. I got apple trees. I got bunny rabbits. I got deers. I got blue sky. I got stars at night, you know what I'm saying? And it's peaceful. And I think that's my Libra self node, showing up, you know? That's a really necessary part of the equation for me. I think, you know, we can get lulled into thinking that, oh, we got to do the north know we got to do the north know, but you got to do the south node and then put it in service to the north node. You can't just not do yourself now. It's like a critical foundation of who you are, I think, you

"So that means your Scorpio house in your labor house absolutely two different houses, right? If it's shifting signs, it's also shifting houses. Right. But that's not true for people using other house systems because that cusp might be in the middle of a house. Okay. Yeah, I mean, to me, I think it makes me think about how most people alive at this point that all of those conjunctions of the sun and Venus that have occurred their entire life up to this point in Scorpio that it's going to shift to Libra and yeah, for some people with the whole sign house topic that that is going to be a shift because now a lot of those conjunctions for the rest of our lives are going to take place in this other house in a person's chart. So you could kind of start to get a sense of what topic shifts you might be seeing or that you might expect in terms of shifts in a person's life, let's say, for me, it's moving from tenth house, so let's say career things to 9000, which might be like education or publishing or other things like that. And I heard it said. Yeah, yeah. I got a book coming out of it. There's something in the works. We're going to wait and see. Yeah, I'm not unveiling it yet, but there might be something later this process. So yeah. Yeah. So that's really interesting just in terms of thinking about that in terms of shifts from one area of life being emphasized to another area of life being emphasized in this being sort of like the turning point. Yeah. Yeah. And you know, just 10,000 general 9th house in general is during transits through the planets in the zodiac the way they normally go, which is anti clockwise, they would go 9 pounds first. Let's say Saturn's in your 9th house, you're doing all your studying. You're doing all your, you know, you're really working on the study part of it, to master the craft, whatever. And by the time it gets to the tenth house, you're called upon to actually do something with it, you know, okay, here's a job offer. Here's our here's a promotion because you've just been working on this or something. And so it would tend to go that way. But when you're looking at it going the other way, tenth house, you've already had all this experience and still your experiences a writer and a teacher as well. But 9000 might focus more on 9th house matters. Yeah, for sure. That makes sense to me. One of the things that's interesting thinking about it, that when you were talking earlier about trends and changes in trends that sometimes happen in companies or other things like that, it also made me think of because it's interesting that the venous retrogrades that those conjunctions and the retrogrades move backwards sort of like the nodes do. And it's one of the few things that moves against the order of the signs of the zodiac or against the normal motion of the planets. And it makes me think of how sometimes that fashion trends move in cycles and sometimes you'll see like a fashion trend come up from a few decades earlier that suddenly comes back and starts being trendy again because I'm starting to see like some fashion trends from like the 90s or the 2000s that are coming back into Vogue and it makes me wonder if it's sort of connected with some of those venous retrograde cycles or with the venous conjunctions in some ways. Could be. I have when I was doing my initial research, I did notice that in the fashion world, things repeat after a time and that I did think it was tied to the venous star cycle, you know, what's popular now and what goes out of fashion and then comes back around again. Yeah. But it's also interesting that it's the moon's nodes and the eclipses, which I guess we could see the moon is feminine, right? Generally speaking, is it termed a feminine energy or it has been traditionally? Sure. And the Venus star would be the same and it just interesting to think about that how those two things are going one way around the wheel and everything else is going the other way. And that's one point about Venus thinking about the Venus and the venous pentagram that way. The other thing is in astrology, we are used to the fourth harmonic conjunction squares oppositions. It Saturn, especially moon, lunations, quarters. Full moons, third quarters. New moons. And for planets the same, you know, we look at that fourth dimension, a fourth harmonic. Venus is on the 5th harmonic. It's a different way of thinking. It's a different part of your brain, actually, that's being used. I think it's really more right brain. Going that way around. So it's using this hemisphere of the brain, the right hemisphere of the brain, whereas looking at the fourth harmonic is probably

"Of Capricorn. And we have been in that what I would call that Capricorn vibration. I look at these 9 month periods of the venous star point to be kind of how an underlying drum beat or heartbeat of what's going on in the world behind the scenes. We don't see it normally, the zodiac we're looking at the zodiac we're looking at the other planets and their transits. But we don't always track what Venus, this Venus kazemi and how it's affecting people. And what was interesting I was noticing in the news this year that everybody who came up in a big way in the news had an 18° Capricorn in their chart. For the day or the week or the event of what was happening for them that made some kind of big news. And that was this last gaze me. And because Venus has 5 points on the star, not just one. I look at the two past the two prior because Amy's, as well as the current one we're coming into, and the two after that, as the sort of hot degrees on the star for that for our whole period. Okay. So let's break that down a little bit further for those that are new to this topic. So there's a conjunction happening later this month. There was a prior conjunction, which is in the sign of Capricorn earlier this year in January. You said that they happen in about 9 month increments to typically give or take. Approximately, yeah. Okay. And what's weird about that and what your work focuses on is that they tend to take place then because they happen in 9 month increments, they create a pattern which is a 5 pointed star or like a pentagram across the zodiac where they will stay clustered, these conjunctions will just happen in the same 5 signs for an extended period of time, right? Over and over. It's a very slow moving mechanism, this venous star clock that I call it. And for instance, this Libra point. It always begins the new start point when it enters the sign. It always begins at the last degree or two of the sign because it's moving more or less clockwise through the zodiac, the way the nodes move. So it's going to enter the sign at 29°. So it's like a beginning and an ending at the same time. Beginning of an era and the ending of an era. So these conjunctions. So basically this conjunction in October at 29 Libra is going to happen in October, and then at some point in the future, there's going to be another conjunction in Libra, but it'll shift a degree or two backwards. Right. With an in between, because in four years in 0° of Scorpio, which will be the last Scorpio star point for a 150 years. The last hundred years, this star point have been Scorpio since 1926. Sure. So, okay, so 8 years from now, basically, there will be another conjunction like the one that's going to occur this October. It'll also occur roughly the same part of the year in October. But it will shift 2° earlier to be instead of 29 Libra, like this month is it'll shift probably to 27 .7. And then 8 years after that, there'll be another conjunction in Libra. Also in October, but it'll shift 2° earlier, so then it'll be at like 25 liters. Exactly. So that's the basic thing is that these conjunctions happen in the same spot in the zodiac roughly just -2°. Roughly almost the same month and almost the same day. Yes, a day apart if it's 2° of particles usually a day or two apart because remember it's conjunct the sun. And so the sun is Venus is going to be. So you can always, if you know the sun cycle around the zodiac, you can always track well. Okay, we know when the sun's at 29 Libra, it's basically around October 22nd, 23rd. Each year. And so, you know, people's birthdays come up, for instance, during that. And I've had several people comment on social media or email me and say, well, my birthday is October 22nd. What does that mean? And it's a big deal, you know? Because as I've been tracking this Venus star, when the venous star because emi activates one of your planets, it's really waking that planet up. It's shining an amazing amount of heart energy light, love from Venus, you know, it's like it's like a really bright radiant kind of effect. And it's not always an event that you can say is wonderful, sometimes it's shining on your Pluto. Sometimes it's shining on your Saturn. Sometimes it's shining on a difficult aspect pattern that you have a tight square or T square in your chart between and if it's hitting that, it's hitting all three points or something. So, you know, you've got to go dig a little deeper with each chart to see, okay, actually, how is it activating your chart and what's it, what's it saying now? But pretty much, I would say, with the research and all the charts that I've looked at since I started working with it, which is now 18 years, that it holds pretty true to form in terms of, yeah, people will, I've always said to people, if you're ever thinking of writing your memoir, you could look at your life just through the venous of Venus to your different planets when that occurred because you will have more or less a pretty big event. And that could be like a chapter. You know, this event when it hit my mercury or when it hit my Saturn or when it hit my Pluto or whatever. Okay. I like what you said about it, sort of shining a light or putting a spotlight on whatever planets it's touching in your birth chart because it makes me it reminds me of the ancient Greek word for Venus, which I think was lightbringer. Yeah. Phosphorus. Yeah, Venus phosphorus is one of her designations. Yeah. Yes. There's two venuses as you recall from the ancients, what they gave us. The Venus Morningstar is Venus pandemos. And the evening star are phosphorus and then Venus evening star is Venus urania or the celestial Venus. So I always thought, well, that makes sense because in astrology we always assign venous to two signs Taurus and Libra. And I think that the venous pandemic is much more like Taurus. She's the earth goddess and the Morningstar is more like the earth goddess and Venus evening star is Libra. It's like the celestial goddess air. She's up in the air. You know, and she is literally up in the air. The evening star is a superior or the exterior conjunction where Venus is on the far side of the sun. Okay. So that brings up one of the diagrams, which is that so this is a slide from one of the lectures that you've given recently and it shows that upcoming conjunction or that kazimi of the sun and Venus at 29° of Libra, but then it also shows the other conjunctions like the Capricorn one you were talking about earlier this year. We just had that one in January. Okay. January of 2022. And maybe the listeners can relate to 2022 if they have anything around 18°. Of any sign, this is such a slow moving thing that I think 18 of any science going to affect it. But especially 18 of Capricorn or 18 of the cardinal signs. Got it. Okay. So that what we're looking at for the audio listeners is just how these conjunctions of the sun and Venus hover around the same degrees in the same signs and just makes this 5 pointed star for these very extended periods of time, but what's significant about this kazimi that's coming up in October is that up until now these conjunctions had been taking place in Scorpio for a very long period of time, right? Since 1926. Okay, so basically every conjunction that had been occurring around this time or as part of this part of the 5 pointed star for this arm. This is the arm of the star for I call them arms. Arms and legs, but arm, we could say an arm. Okay. Yeah, like a arm of a starfish or something like that.

Apple's New Movie 'Emancipation' Is Oscar Gold
"Apple held first showing Saturday for the big movie coming out with Will Smith called Emancipation Antoine fuqua, directing it, stars Will Smith as an enslaved man who recovered from a really bad whipping that nearly killed him. And then he had to go brave through the swamps of Louisiana, armed with only his wits to escape these cold blooded slave hunters and be free. So both he and fuqua made their first public comments about the film in this follow-up discussion they had for the black caucus foundation's legislative conference in Washington D.C., there's no date yet, but this is the most solid indication that the film is going to arrive for award season and it's going to be a real rough one for Will Smith after he lost his mind and smacking Chris Rock because this is the kind of movie that gets a lot of Oscar attention. And it's been really it's been really been anticipated because Apple won the rights there was a record breaking auction and they won the rights to make it, it's the stuff Oscars are made of, you know? Playing Venus and Serena Williams father that's one thing. That's a lifetime movie. Playing a slave who went through this hell? It's so different. Back in 1863, the inspiration for this movie came when there were photographs taken of this slave named Peter. And he had just enjoined enslaved, he was just joined the Union Army to help him find his family. And the photographs was seen all over the world above his back being whipped and it just galvanized everybody against slavery as it being barbaric, of course. And they were those images were a symbolic beginning to like, we started seeing Emmett Till, you know, then he got Ronde king and of course lately got George Floyd, I mean, this slave, Peter. That's the man who should have four funerals and a hologram in the night sky. Not a crackhead ex con George Floyd.

Author Christiana Hale on the Concept of 'Medieval Cosmology'
"And if I was walking back I'm talking to Christiana Hale, who hails different spelling from Idaho. She's in Idaho now. I am not an Idaho. I want to be very clear. The book that she has written and it is wonderful. It's called deeper heaven, a reader's guide to C. S. Lewis's ransom trilogy. So Christiana, C. S. Lewis wrote so much. Some people know him from the screwtape letters. Many people know the Narnia chronicles and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Very few people know that he wrote a an absolutely spectacular trilogy of novels for adults, often called the ransom trilogy. They are literarily magnificent and there's just, they're full of so much stuff, so much genius, so many levels. But one level, which is vital in which you write about in your book, which you clarify, is this thing called the medieval cosmology. So let's just break it down for the audience. The ancients believed, and the medieval world believed that the earth is at the center, now we now know that's not true, but it kind of doesn't matter. They believe the earth is at the center. And then they could see with the naked eye before telescopes, they could see the sun, the moon, and mercury, Mars, Saturn, Venus, and Jupiter. That's it. Right? So those were the medieval planets. And when you talk about medieval cosmology, first, that's what you're talking about, correct? Yes, yes, correct. So the 7 planets of their cosmology. But beyond that, they saw the planet says having very distinct personalities too, which is something that's very foreign to us. We just look up and we see them and they're pretty in the night sky and they're bright. So give us an example of what we mean by that. So for example, Jupiter, I would argue they would see as one of the most important planets. And so in the system. So he is and I say he because it's very connected to the Roman God Jupiter after whom it's named. But they would see him as the king of the planets. So as Jupiter is the king of the Roman gods, and so connected with kingly Ness and all of the all of the qualities that are associated with what we think of a king being like you can see also they could see with the naked, well, not quite with the naked eye, but as rudimentary telescopes were developed, they could see the spot in Jupiter's side. So he's the wounded king, which then draws connections to Christ, obviously, on the cross, his side was pierced. And so they're comes into all of these, then theological connotations as well.

Deeper Heaven: A Reader's Guide to C.S. Lewis' Ransom Trilogy
"I'm talking both ours today with Christiana Hale, the author of a new book called deeper heaven, a reader's guide to C. S. Lewis's ransom trilogy because a guide to C. S. Lewis ransom trilogy did not exist and needed to be written and Christiana Hale wrote it. And here's the good news, I actually read the whole book, which I rarely get to do. And it is a wonderful guide to see if Lewis is random. I'm just so grateful to you, Christiana for writing this book because as you said before, nothing like it existed, and people are intimidated by the world of Lewis's ransom trilogy because it seems deep and intimidating and stuff. It's really not. Because it works on so many levels. But your book serves as a just a wonderful introduction. So we were just talking about, so the first book is a trip to Mars, the second book is a trip to Venus, the third book is called that hideous strength, which is a really bizarre book that kind of almost stands on its own. But let's just kind of keep going with the plot, the overview of these three books. So the first book, this guy ran some, he doesn't know what he's getting into, right? Like he's a guy that's just kind of on a walking tour and he kind of stumbles on this dark situation with these people, he's nefarious scientists wanting to kidnap this boy and take him to Mars to sacrifice him. And so he sort of intervenes. And so he inadvertently finds himself going to Mars. Yes, that was right. In the first book. And then if we're moving on to the second book, in the second book, it's less accidental. It's more on purpose. And what's fascinating to me is that the whole reason the second book happens, though, is because of the first book. And this is Louis's genius, is that this first book was a total accident, ransom just stumbled, stumbled into this situation, because of this kidnapping because he was taken to Mars. The important thing that happens is that ransom was a philologist, meaning he studied languages, and being taken Mars, he was fascinated by the fact that these creatures are speaking a different language.

James Como Shares His Favorite Story 'Perelandra' by C.S. Lewis
"That you've written a book about one of my very, very, very favorite books. It's called mystical peril and so there are a lot of people listening, they're not even C. S. Lewis devotees, so describe, if you would please, what is para landra for my audience, tell my audience. So that I don't. All right, I'll begin with the subtitle. Mystical peril angel my light my lifelong reading of C. S. Lewis and his favorite book. Because peril andro, he said, more than once, was his favorite book. What year did he write it? Amazing. Out of the silent planet, the first of this trilogy had preceded it in 39, and that hideous strength, which is really a stand-alone thing in 45, I think, was the third book. I think of it as the ransom trilogy because of the hero ransom appearing in all three. So let's call it the ransom trilogy, but the so the middle book and you say, it was Lewis favorite book. And boy, he wrote a lot of books. It's called peril lander. So it's a novel. Yes, a fantasy. He would have called it a romance using the old medieval classical term for an adventure. Now, peril andra, people who don't know the book should know, is Louis's name for Venus. The planet Venus. And in this book, elwyn ransom travels magically in a coffin like object transported by el dila angelic creatures to this unfallen Paradise, which is peril andra. Populated by two people, the king and the queen. Prelapsarian before the fall. I mean, look, this is a heavy idea, so I'm going to have to interrupt a lot, because I want my audience to be tracking. This is amazing stuff, folks. So this is a novel. It is brilliant. It is brilliantly written as a writer who values writing who values literature. There are passages in the book power lander, particularly toward the end that are some of the most glorious passages of prose ever written in English, bar none. Some of the most spectacular writing that I have ever read. But the plot is that elwyn ransom goes to this planet. It's his version of Venus, Lewis's version of Venus. And he is sort of confronts the atom in the eve of that planet before the fall, and then is used by God to help them prevent the fall to prevent the fall.

John Zmirak and Eric Discuss the Brilliant Works of C.S. Lewis
"Seriously, John, every time we talk to you every week, it's fun and look forward to it. And I guess the only question is, what shall we talk about today? Let me see. You wrote something recently about C. S. Lewis. Can we talk about that? Sure, sure. I don't know, I think everybody has a first experience of reading certain important books. And I remember when I first read the third volume in his space trilogy. Now I'm not everybody knows, I guess C. S. Lewis saw how effective people like H.G. Wells were at spreading darwinist materialism through one beautifully written well told science fiction stories that conveyed these shallow terrible soul destroying worldviews. And C. S. Lewis decided, I can use this power for good instead of evil. And he wrote three books about space travel. One imagines a trip to Mars. One imagines a trip to Venus and one imagines basically angels coming down to the earth to lift the seeds that we've been under from Satan since this is like if Frank peretti were a great writer or even a good writer. The books that he wrote in the 90s, this present darkness, whatever I really didn't care for them because the literary quality struck me as very much middling. But imagine a great writer like C. S. Lewis, a genuinely great, great writer, like C. S. Lewis, turning his attention to this genre. And I remember when I discovered they could always call it the space trilogy, but the first book, of course, is out of the silent planet, which is a trip to Mars, then there's peril land, tryptophan, and then the last one is called that hideous strength, which takes place on Planet Earth, but I want to say peril land drive. I've said this many times. One of the greatest books I've ever read, it is a masterpiece. It ought to be taught in survey courses along with Paradise lost.

Will Smith Slaps Chris Rock Following Joke About His Wife
"I can't even fit into a symbol. How much I care about the Academy Awards. I can't even begin to tell you how little I care about the Oscars. But last night, during the Academy Awards, Will Smith, who wound up winning best actor for his portrayal of Venus and Serena Williams father in a movie that I didn't even know existed, had no idea there's a movie about the Williams sisters, the tennis stars. I guess he played their dad. I don't know. I don't care. I don't really want to see movies. And I don't care. I was watching basketball. I was watching other things, didn't really care about the Oscars. But evidently, Chris Rock, the acerbic comic told a joke about Will Smith's wife and Will Smith jumped up on the stage, stormed the stage and reared back and smacked Chris Rock in the face. Do you care? I mean, I love how the other hosts get into this sort of parlor game who, who's right, who's wrong, he attacked his wife. Well, apparently it's not a very well kept secret that Will Smith and his wife have an open marriage. So evidently, their personal life is already a little unconventional, shall we say, and Will Smith allegedly takes it very personally when people criticize his wife because he feels like people are calling him a cuckold, which is, of course, a phrase that is like from, I don't know, Victorian England, you know, a cuckold but a man, I guess literally has other men sleep with his wife. And that's what being cuckolded would be. And Will Smith doesn't lie invited to call him that, even though they have this open road. I mean, I can't even believe I'm talking about this on a radio show because I don't care about Will

"And might there be within this storm. An opportunity to. See another way of doing that? Another way of centering another way of accessing the divine of linking the above and the blow that is in flux that I can grab onto and plant in my garden that will help me to achieve the process of manifestation of bringing into the world the things that I want. And or am I in the process of recognizing that this process of manifestation has started to bring me the things that I want, but there's these other forces that seem to be dark and negative or at least contrarian. That I have to somehow engage to either tame or control or become masterful with in order to balance the receptive and nurturing and the assertive and aggressive, how can I, you know, am I in, how can I further that process? And it might be, it might be all of the above. But just being aware of this mythology. I mean, it's really, honestly, it's not that hard. Most of the time, it's astonishing to me how usually I don't really have to interpret for people. If I just tell them the story that I see in their horoscope or whatever, they go, oh, so this is this and that is that. It's really pretty usually pretty easy to see these parallels. If you have to try too hard, it's probably not there, but if it is there, it's usually pretty easy to notice. It might take a little bit of contemplation only because this is not a way of thinking that we're usually usually once you see it, you go, oh, duh, it was there all the time. How could I miss that, right? In other words, you might not be easy to see, but it's usually pretty simple. It's pretty pretty clear when you do see it. And so making these connections to this process of this goddess and this process of manifestation in this process of balancing the masculine and feminine within us, this would be, I think, really, really rich metaphor to continue to reflect upon and to look for correspondences during this entire agreement throughout the period. And on the other side of the retrograde, because Venus is starting her 584 day 18 month cycle within the realm of Capricorn and Venus and Mars together are starting at 6 to 7 year cycle in the realm of Capricorn. And these are personal planets. It seems to me that we have an opportunity here within this what has been, you know, outer planets are often very, very generational, a very sociological and they represent sometimes forces that are simply beyond their control. There's not a lot I can do about the fact that. There's inflation or whatever, you know, you know, yes, I can vote. We can argue about whether that actually has any effect or not. But you know, even if I do vote, I'm just one vote, right? So I only have so much power and even if we assume that.

"So until my Venus turned direct my progression last year, I really, you know, before then, I just was jumping in head first. Now, I kind of dip my feet in the water, get to know people, get to see their vibe. And then I can make assessments instead of going full in. Venous pressure grade can do that to you. It could also make you a little more intuitive when it comes to partnerships and how you spend money and it can make you a little bit whimsical and a little bit eccentric in how you save and spend your money. So one of the things I've heard about Venus retrograde is that you should never get plastic surgery during a Venus retrograde. What is that all about? Is there a truth behind that? I mean, here's the thing. Probably not, but if you really have to get a plastic surgery for whatever reason, let's just say you have an accident and you need to get plastic surgery. Then there are times that you can get surgery. For instance, when Venus and the sun connect during the rush degree, that actually is a great time. But something that astrologers called kazimi, which is the heart of the sun. And this year, it actually is what we call the Venus starpoint and that occurs on January 8th. So January 8th, if you have to get plastic surgery, if you have to get your hair done, if you have to make an investment, use that time for it. Venus first for you to start point of the year of hers on January 8th, and that's when Venus earth and. All link up and basically it creates a 5 pointed star in the sky. And that's a great time to manifest love and money and all that goodness. So I've also heard that during Venus retrograde, you can collect money that's owed to you..

"Conversely, you know, a lot of times during retrogrades, this would be after the retrograde proper, you know, especially venous retrogrades. We experience X's coming back into our life and go, oh my God, you know, you read the dissonance between who you are now and who you were when you were hanging out with them. Wow, that can be a Negro kind of experience as well. It can also be the reverse, say, wow, you know, I was really pissed off at that person. And now I remember why I love them in the first place. And the piss offness is actually gone. So you could be the Negro of something that is undesirable going away. You see? Retrogrades can be very positive in that regard. And that it can be the reversal of something that we really weren't that happy about to begin with. So there's a variety of ways this can play out, but the point is is that as Venus is going from her greatest brightness and disappearing in the sky something in our lives and our psyche is needing to pass away in order to make room for something new. It's that simple. See. And as we tune into that, we can, you know, and at the same time, while it may not necessarily mean that something, you know, that we experience death in a very, very literal sense. It could be very psychologically healthy to contemplate death. Again, you know, Capricorn being distilled, the stillest time of the year, the deepest darkest time of the year. That contemplation of the darkness of the stillness of the time when the life force is drawn in, you know, it's invisible. There's no leaves on the trees. But we know there's this light still in us and among us, right? And in that regard, I saw I saw an article recently that I thought it was good. It would be a good exercise. It was a good exercise for me. I thought it might be a good exercise to share with you. Contemplating death from point of view of someone who is dying. You know, imagine put yourself in the place of someone who is dying for a moment. This article spoke about the 5 most common regrets that people who are.

"And today is Wednesday. December 1st. And I'm recording this as the sign Capricorn is rising in the east and a little while Venus is at about 20° Capricorn right now will rise. And Venus is well well within what many people choose to call the shadow of the retrograde right now. That is, she's well within the range of the space that she will cross three times. But it's really, really important to suss out that is a very general and very vague and very potentially misleading statement. This concept more than any bugs the crap out of me. I'll just be honest with you this shadow concept because it's simplistic and misapplied and misused and misunderstood and mis mist. And this is the mark for me. So I want to talk, I want to suss out some of the subtleties that are very important to grasp in the emerald tablet talks about separating the subtle from the growth. And that's what we want to try to do today. To suss out the subtle from the gross with respect to the shadow phenomenon. First of all, Venus being in the shadow is kind of ridiculous because right now, Venus is super bright. I don't know if you've been out around sunset or just after sunset lately around dusk and look to the west, but Southwest. But she is incredibly bright. I mean, at this point in her journey, Venus is the brightest she ever gets. That is in technical terms that is magnitude apparent magnitude minus four and some change. That's really bright. Like brightest stars reach minus one. And this is an exponential curve. So Venus is hundreds of times. If not a thousand times brighter than the brightest star right now, wave brighter than Jupiter was nearby and is the second brightest planet. So Venus is actually so bright. She's able to cast shadows. At this point. So Venus being in any kind of shadow doesn't make any sense to me..

"It's like the love language in the zodiac. So when you think about those love language books, Venus is our love language. It's how we love. So if we know someone's Venus, we have a very good opportunity to show up for them, not just for us, but in a way that's going to be good for them. So I really love that. One last question, too. You know, what about Venus transits? What do we need to know about that when Venus is ripping through your chart? What's happening? Well, if you, a couple of things, first of all, if you have when Venus is moving through a different house in your chart. Every house relates to a different relationship. So for example, the third house is our neighbors, but it's also our siblings. And sometimes our teachers too. And so when Venus is moving through the third house, you and Venus stays in one sign for depending on whether or not she's going retrograde for about three, three and a half weeks at a time. And when she's in that sign, the area of when she's in that house in your chart, that area of your life feels a little bit more fun, interesting. You're making new connections. And so if she's moving through the third house, for example, this would be a time to be going out and talking to neighbors. To be planning a reunion with your brothers and sisters. If she's moving through the 5th House, this is children. The fourth House is home and family. The first house is relationship with yourself. So this would be the time to plan your spa treatments. This would be the time to plan anything that you're doing that you want to have a little bit of visibility. I always recommend my clients get their headshots during Venus transits to the first house. So look at what relationships are represented by those different houses and those different signs. And focus some of that venous light in that area of your life. That is such great advice. So of course I'm going to have to go look and see where Venus is in my chart right now and figure out what I'm going to do in relationships. So I love that. So also before we complete, you've got a new blockout. And I mentioned the title is modern day magic. 8 simple rules to realize your power and shape.

Yes totally they're not a dull moment. I mean we've we've watched some sci fi horror movies from the fifties that they might have a really fun goofy looking monster or they might have elements that work really.

"I may Venus planetary geophysicist venus is just an incredibly complicated planet which has so many similarities year. No one really big in perhaps appreciated similarity is the age of its surface if we look at the surface of mercury or mars. They're covered with impact craters. That means those surfaces have been around for of years so venus it only has about a thousand impact craters. If you account for the surf's here the ocean earth has about the same number that makes it a place where we expect. Geologic processes still be active. It really gives us a great laboratory to study. Active geology. The lack of craters on venus and on earth shows us. They are both planets with relatively young services. This means there are active processes on venus. Like quakes and vulcan ism reshaping the surface and this is a process. Scientists are eager to learn more about most of the planet's surface is covered in volcanic features. Many of wish look like those we find here on earth but there are also crazy features for example channels which we think are formed by lava flow eroding the surface but those channels go for literally a thousand miles and are only like a mile wide. Venus is one of our closest neighbors in the universe so it makes sense that we would want to learn more. They've already been several missions to venus but because of the harsh nature of its atmosphere they could only tell us so much in the dawn of the space age yes was the it planet. There was just spacecraft after spacecraft heading venus some made it some failed but it was the planet that we thought had swamps and dense vegetation and exciting aliens as captured in sci-fi. It was actually the the place where the first robotic spacecraft flew by another planet those missions the united states mission pioneer venus and the soviet missions venire and vega. They visited the atmosphere and surface with technologies largely from the nineteen seventies. Just think back to the seventy s. Did we have cellphones. Nope did we have personal computers nip electric cars. No those technologies showed us the venus. We see today. A limited picture of masterpiece unfinished because venus is hard the last. Us mission to venus was the magellan mission which reached venus orbit in nineteen ninety and operated until nineteen ninety-four. Jim and his team proposed going back to venus with the davinci mission. Four times before it was selected in twenty twenty. One alongside the veritas mission. So after many years actually a decade or so of trying we're so privileged to have been selected to fly emission named for leonardo da vinci the great renaissance person who was able to stitch science technology engineering and dreams and curiosity altogether. We would ideally launch in twenty twenty nine and fly by venus twice in two thousand thirty before we take the plunge in june of twenty thirty one and our pleasure will take an hour through the entire atmosphere and then if we're fortunate and lucky and venus cooperates we may get a little data as we sit on the surface. I'm jonah arne. And i'm one of the deputy. Pi's of the davinci mission to venus giada alongside. Jim is part of the team. Conceptualizing preparing and eventually launching the probe to venus. It will consist of two parts. Both will collect new and exciting information. That will help us. Better understand this mysterious planet. It's a really exciting concept. There's a spacecraft and the spacecraft is attached to a descent probe the spacecraft will do to fly bys venus on the way there during those fly buys the space craft is going to study venus in ultraviolet light and also near infrared light. These are colors of light that our is can't see but they provide information about the clouds of venus and also the surface of venus two years after launch. We're going to drop a descent. Probe into into venus's atmosphere that'll be released from the spacecraft are dissents. Fear is a titanium sphere. It's about the size of maybe a small beanbag chair or a large beach ball so noth- enormous but not super tiny. Either the descent probe will take about an hour to fall through venus's thick atmosphere during its descent it's going to make thousands of measurements of the atmospheric composition and we really want to understand the composition of venus's atmosphere better because we wanna look for information about what venus might have been like in the past the name davinci is an acronym and the n. stands for noble gases studying the noble gases of venus's atmosphere in particular will help give scientists appeak at the history of how venus became what it is today. Noble gases are unreal reactive gases because they don't react with things they kind of stick around and they could record a long history of processes that could have occurred on venus so from those and other gases. We want to learn things like the volcanic history of venus. Venus got its water. How much water. Venus may have had. how have lost that water etc etc. All these interesting questions about venus its origin evolution davinci's descent probe. We'll make a harrowing journey through venus's thick cloudy atmosphere and down to the surface it will be outfitted with state of the art protective materials to keep it as safe as possible but scientists don't have expectations that it will be able to survive the harsh conditions very long. Once we clear the bottom of the clouds will happen in about thirty eight. Kilometers in altitude will actually be able to have a crystal clear view of the surface. Then we have a camera at the bottom are dissents fear and that kamara's gonna appear downward through a sapphire window and it's going to look at the surface from above get a bird's eye view of the terrain once it hits the service. We don't know if it'll survive. It is not required to survive. If it does we might be able to collect a few more minutes of data but that will be a bonus. We're not expecting or planning for that at the moment while davinci will mostly focus on studying the atmosphere the other venus mission veritas will orbit the planet taking data to study the surface n. Geology evidence suggests that long ago. Venus hosted large shallow oceans with a stable climate for at least a couple billion years measuring features of both the atmosphere and the surface can tell scientists whether or not water used to be present on venus. And how much it influenced its topography and climate scientists. Like su are excited to see how much earthen venus having common especially when it comes to questions of planet formation geological activity and the presence of water. Very toss will investigate the global geologic evolution of venus. And answer some of the key questions that we need to understand about geologic evolution to get at this question of how planets become habitable. How they lose their habitability..

Several different combinations is the romantic poet. John keats and he has a stallion of sun. Mercury venus neptune and he said in one of his letters. There's a holiness to the hearts affections and that that is venus neptune. There's the holiness to the hearts affections you can also on his tombstone. Was it was written. The words here lies one. Whose name is as writ in water and you can see the the sun the reference to the name again mercury the rich but as in water that The neptunium ephemeral just passes by fades back into the all the everything The oneness that neptune is the the Our it and the very last combination that we haven't touched on his venus pluto combinations probably my favorite example of I mentioned janice joplin. Take another little piece of my heart. That song by the way. She didn't write that was written by erma. Franklin the older sister of aretha franklin irma. frank glenn also has venus pluto so The writer of the song and then the most famous singer. The song both have venus pluto but does aroma franklin hurler sister venus pluto and she wrote that song which janice joplin saying But probably my favorite example. Venus pluto is a free to call oh and she has venus pluto square to saturn. And the weather you know seeing through her art which like venus pluto is it's intense. It's extreme it's raw. It's visceral but it's also beautiful. It's also artistic on. It's like venus with mars. Venus with pluto. I think really carries that deeply roddick expression. She had such an intense dynamic relationship with diego rivera and both artists Both heartbreakers and both you know having relationships affairs outside their marriage deeply Intense dynamics really fits the venus pluto element and then how. She painted her Her pain and experience in this speaks to venus saturn as well. You know physical pain that she was in an being confined into into her body after the The bus accident. She was as a young woman When we said in look at her artwork which is often so exposing raw and visceral There's one painting of her She she painted a number of paintings around her miscarriage. And i think there's one also if i'm remembering correctly for birthing herself and Just that the experience of birth cycles of birth sex death the death. Rebirth mystery The these are all expressions of pluto and putting that into art Finding the beauty of that even when that beauty is raw and messy and sometimes even like disgusting biological. That's very much. A i think a venus pluto expression. But it's so far it's so deep it so kind of primal love Love that cuts to the core. Yes an and just intensity and venus already being about desire attraction and pluto taking whatever it touches to the utmost extreme which can be like in. Let's say a positive manifestation and like literature could be like the like romeo and juliet Type situation where you're just like willing to die for a person in. Let's say romantic sentence of just Being willing to take things to that extreme But then also the negative manifestation can sometimes be something similar in terms of taking things too extreme or the obsessive pursuit of compulsive component which can sometimes manifest in relationships in a more Let's say negative way of being overly obsessed or unwilling to let go in in some way. Yeah absolutely the possessive element The poodle could bring in as you said obsessive expression as well Definitely can there can certainly be problematic sides of venus pluto And can be such you know. Deep extraordinary transformative sides when it's held in a in a container That mutual transformation through. Love that impulse to go really deep with another person. Perfect all right. So let's go ahead and jump into our next set of passages in our next excerpt The last one was from the ninth century. Astrologer atlema machar. And now. we're gonna jump forward. Several centuries the first major textbook on astrology that was written in english in england in the year. Sixteen forty seven. And that's william lily's book christian astrology Swim book one. He has some basics on the significance of the planets and interestingly it's structured a little bit better because he talks about the general nature of venus with an also talks about people signified and what venus indicates when it's well placed in the chart versus what it indicates when it's poorly placed so we start to get even more nuances than some of the previous texts introduced. Alright so let me sure the passage and do wanna go ahead and read this one gladly right. So the nature feminine nocturnal temporarily cold and moist the lesser fortune author of mirth and jollity people signified are musicians gangsters. Silk men mercer's linen drapers. Painters jewelers players lapa dairies. Embroiderers women taylor's wives mothers virgins choristers fiddlers pipers when joined with the moon. Singers perfumers festers picture drawers grave. Irs upholsterers lindner's glover's all sell those commodities which adorn women. Either in body as clothes were in face as complexion waters manners. When well dignified venus signifies a quiet man not give into law quarrel or wrangling not videos pleasant neat and spruce loving mirth in his words and actions clean in peril rather drinking much than gluttonous prone to venneri. Often entangled in love matters zealous in their affections. Musical delighting in baths and all honest. Mary meetings or masks and stage plays easy of belief and not given to labor or taking any pains a company keeper cheerful nothing mistrustful a right virtuous man or woman often had in some jealousy yet no cause for it manners went badly placed when venus ill placed then the man is riotous expensive wholly given to looseness and lewd companies of women not regarding his reputation coveting unlawful beds incestuous an adulterer fanatical emir skipjack of no faith no repute no credit spending his means in l. houses taverns and amongst scandalous loose people. A mean lazy companion not careful of the things of this life or anything religious a mere atheist and natural ban. Nice i love it too. That is it's great. We're now firmly in seventeenth century. England at this point that's fantastic I learned a lot of words from these passages. Okay well please inform me because i am not What does the listener. you have. An antea a lindner is someone who i looked this up the other day a painter especially of portrait's or miniatures. Yes yeah so that one definitely surprised me. The the lapidary lap comes from lopez meaning If you think of the lapis philosophy forum the philosopher's stone someone who works with stones or gems carving them let's see i hesitate to like google. All of these live I don't know what a skipjack is for example skip. Jack is just who can't be relied on a skip out on being there That makes sense at the mercer it. You know it's between silk. Mannion lint linen drapers at someone who sells fabrics Let's see what else we have. Chorister someone who sings or leads acquire and assem. Stir is just simply an archaic form of seem. Stir like us seamstress exactly from a graver..

"venus" Discussed on Short Wave
"Ra jeff. So in this episode. We are making the case for exploring venus. Where do you wanna start. Why not start with the history. Venus exploration august twenty six the mariners countdown begins so the very first spacecraft humans ever sent to another planet mariner to and they didn't go to mars. It went to venus the first planet. Humans ever landed a program on that was venus to vienna. That was the soviet union's venera seven <hes>. That landed on venus's surface in nineteen seventy. Got it okay jeff. So why did planetary exploration start with venus like that well because venus's actually pretty good place to visit it's closer the mars and it looks in some ways a lot like earth similar size thicker atmosphere. Yeah but it's not exactly suitable for humans right venus. It's really hot. I know it's filled with poisonous gases that can kill you. That's true that's all true. Fact check through. Its atmosphere is filled with sulfuric acid and the atmosphere so thick at the surface. It's like being under kilometer of water. Also it's so hot that lead melts. So when the russian venera probes touchdown. Martha gilmore planetary scientist at wesleyan university. She told me they didn't last very long. Those were able to operate for at the best an hour and a half before suffering what we call a thermal death <hes>. I mean yeah. I mean they did not have a happy end but before they died. They did snap a few grainy photos and what they sent back didn't look great either. This desolate inhospitable world. And nobody's really tried seriously to get any closer since those soviet missions. Yeah and i mean mars by contrast even though it's colder and the atmosphere is thin and it's farther away at least the rovers we send their don't melt. Yeah okay sir. All i can see why. Mars is a favorite destination over venus. Yeah yeah okay. There's an argument to be made but the orbiter said have gone to venus and studied it from above. They're starting to build up this really interesting picture at the planet for starters. Scientists think that venus has had a super interesting past. Gilmore told me that a few billion years ago venus actually had oceans. venus should have had <hes>. a lot of water and new climate model suggests that water may have persisted for billions of years <hes>. That's pretty cool. I didn't know venus. Had oceans yeah. Yeah and i mean what's equally. Who is the story of what happened to those oceans so just bear with me for a second <hes>. Basically the theory is that venus earth had volcanoes that we're putting out tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere now the oceans were scrubbing the atmosphere of the carbon dioxide there literally sucking up the co two as it was released but they couldn't keep up so the co two levels kept rising and just like we see here on earth with global warming <hes>. The temperature got hotter. The ocean started to evaporate the start to shrink. And if you don't have that ocean you lose that mechanism to pull the o two down into rock and so that co two <hes>. Has no choice but to stay in the atmosphere so venus keeps getting hotter the disappear entirely the co two levels. Go through the roof. It's this runaway. Greenhouse effect that eventually completely dries the planet out and co two and noxious gases. Blanket the surface. And that's how you get from a nice warm ocean. Venus the past of what we see. Today yeah this is kind of scary to hear in a way jeff because it sounds like climate change on earth i mean. Are we on a road. That's headed towards a venus like future. No no the short answer is no and that's because although the processes are similar there are parallels between earth and venus and climate change. Could get serious. It won't get venus bad because basically the earth is farther from the sun. Gotcha okay so that's not exactly what our earth hasn't store jeff wise. It's still worth it to visit and study venus well. There's this really interesting question of life i mean. I think there's an argument to be made. The venus was more likely to have life on it. In the past the mars ever was venus had this warmer thicker atmosphere and it definitely had oceans. Gilmore thinks that you are some extraterrestrial visitor in your swinging by from some other part of the milky way mars venus and earth would have actually looked a lot alike back. Then you know. Three billion years ago you would have seen three terrestrial planets of which have oceans venus earth and mars and at least on one of those planets life had already evolved and you know has led
