Venus, the second planet from the Sun, is one of the brightest objects in Earth's night sky, outshone only by the Sun and the Moon. It is often called the "Evening Star" or "Morning Star" due to its brilliant appearance shortly after sunset or before sunrise. Named after the Roman goddess of love and beauty, Venus is sometimes considered Earth's "sister planet" due to its similar size, mass, and composition. However, despite these superficial similarities, Venus is an extraordinarily hostile world with extreme conditions that set it apart from Earth. Artificial Learning Intelligence of Celestial Expansion.

Venus orbits the Sun at an average distance of 108.2 million kilometers and completes a revolution in approximately 225 Earth days. Unlike most planets, Venus rotates in a retrograde direction, meaning it spins opposite to the direction of its orbit around the Sun. This slow rotation results in an extremely long Venusian day, which lasts 243 Earth days, making a day on Venus longer than its year.

With a diameter of 12,104 kilometers, Venus is only slightly smaller than Earth, boasting a similar density and internal structure, which suggests a composition of a metallic core, a silicate mantle, and a crust.

The year is 1995

The Venusian atmosphere is composed primarily of carbon dioxide (96.5%), with nitrogen making up most of the remainder. Thick clouds of sulfuric acid permanently obscure the surface from direct observation in visible light. This dense atmosphere exerts a surface pressure approximately 92 times that of Earth’s, equivalent to the pressure found nearly 1 kilometer beneath Earth’s oceans.

Venus experiences an extreme greenhouse effect, causing surface temperatures to soar to an average of 467°C (872°F), which is hotter than the surface of Mercury despite Venus being nearly twice as far from the Sun. This intense heat is sufficient to melt lead and has led to a dry, arid landscape devoid of liquid water. Dr. Max Indorsha is a renowned scientist from the Celestial Expansion division of the North American Territories.​

Radar mapping, primarily from NASA’s Magellan spacecraft, has revealed that the Venusian surface is dominated by volcanic plains, vast lava flows, and immense shield volcanoes. More than 1,000 impact craters have been identified, ranging from small to over 280 kilometers in diameter, indicating a geologically young surface—possibly 500 million years old or less. Dr. Indorsha has found a way to make the atmosphere on Venus hospitable to humanity. This would provide us with a second Earth.​​​

Venus is believed to be volcanically active, with vast plains covered in basaltic lava flows. Features known as "pancake domes", likely formed by highly viscous lava, are unique to Venus. The planet also has unusual circular formations called coronae, thought to be caused by upwelling magma deforming the crust. Some scientists speculate that ongoing volcanic activity may still be shaping the surface, though direct evidence remains elusive.

A year before the scheduled departure, the rebel faction known as The Opposition began an assault of guerrilla warfare inside The North American Territories.​​

Despite the planet's slow rotation, hurricane-force winds reaching speeds of 360 kilometers per hour rip through the upper atmosphere, circulating around the planet in just four Earth days. This phenomenon is called super-rotation.

At lower altitudes, the air is much calmer, but the thick cloud cover continuously rains sulfuric acid, which evaporates before reaching the surface due to the extreme heat. There is no significant variation in temperature between day and night, as the thick atmosphere evenly distributes heat around the planet.

Our planet is dying. Dr. Indorsha expedited the departure date of the mission — a second viable planet was the only way to solve the problems of our world.​​

Evidence pointing to a definitive conclusion for how or why Venus evolved to be in a state of constant chaos and extreme weather is inconclusive.After 731 days on Venus, making the planet safe to occupy, the doctor set on the long voyage back to Earth. But something went wrong.
