For decades, Venus was imagined as Earth’s twin. A warm ocean world hidden beneath thick clouds. Some scientists even believed it might support life. Then the data came back, and the illusion collapsed.

In this episode of Still Unexplained, we explore how Venus became one of the most hostile planets in the solar system and why its transformation still raises unsettling questions. What exactly went wrong on a planet so similar to our own? Was Venus always doomed, or did something trigger a catastrophic runaway greenhouse effect? And could Venus be showing us a possible future for Earth?
