New Theory Suggests Venus May Have Absorbed Its Own Moon

Venus is one of the few planets in our solar system that has no moon, a long-standing mystery in astronomy. A new theory now offers a potential explanation for this unusual absence. According to the hypothesis, Venus may have consumed its own moon rather than never having had one. The theory suggests the moon was essentially absorbed or destroyed by the planet itself. While still theoretical, this idea provides a straightforward answer to a question that has puzzled astronomers for years.
