Scientists have conducted an atmospheric analysis of Venus and concluded that the planet has never had Earth-like life.
The study found that the interior of Venus is dry, suggesting it has never had oceans of liquid water necessary for life.
The research also revealed that volcanic eruptions on Venus are 'dry,' indicating the scarcity of water in the planet's interior.
The findings challenge the notion that Venus was habitable in the past and highlights the need to search for habitable planets beyond our solar system.
