Venus in fiction
From Biocrawler, the free encyclopedia.
In science fiction tales of about the first two thirds of 20th century the planet Venus was usually described as a hot, misty place, a planet covered by swamps full of strange life forms, often as a world resembling Earth in Carboniferous period.
After space probes launched for Venus sent back home data describing actual surface conditions of the planet (an extremely hot, dry desert with a lot of sulphuric acid in its environment), this exciting branch of the science fiction worldbuilding unfortunately seems to have gone extinct.
