text: Venus once may have been the most Earth-like planet in the solar system many years ago, which highly fascinated astronomers. The planet was probably made up of mostly oceans and could have had many forms of life, just like our plant Earth today. To this day, Venus still has some features that are analogous to the ones on this planet. Venus has surfaces of rocks and also has features like valleys, mountains, and craters. The planet can sometimes be the nearest one for a visit. Astronomers could take the planetary visit into consideration, considering the long time frames of space travel.
