QUOTE (nprev @ Oct 11 2006, 02:06 PM)  So that it would be probed, Venus must show any impact marks of two moons. Does the Magallen's radars show any indication of these impacts? I haven't heard of anyone speculating about this. However, I seems that it would be very hard to prove since at about 500 millions years ago Venus might have undergone a big volcan eruption that have resurfaced most of the planet. Anyway, due to its odd direction of its polar spin, there must have some kind of impact that have changed its polar position and not due to the influence of Sun tidal and the Venusian's massive atmosphere in which they are, most probably, be impossible to alter the polar positions. On the other hand, I think that the changing the rotation way by reversing the poles is lower than by reversing the rotation direction which would be twice force than the polar's one. So, this kind of mystery would continue...and hope to attract more spacecraft to visit to Venus.  Rodolfo |
