Pretty sure it also spins the “wrong way” compared to all the other planets, probably a massive impact at some point stopped it spinning and sent it backwards slowly
That’s a good observation.I think you’re right. It really is insane how much evidence of impacts and other forms of geological trauma is extant on other worlds
Makes you imagine if the galaxies didn’t spin so slow (relative to human timescales), we’d be watching rippling shrapnel as shit collides with one another in real time
I think (although I could be wrong), that that film was trying to depict that Superman was flying so fast that he went back in time. And the best visual they could come up with was that the earth was spinning “backwards” in order to depict this.
According to Wikipedia, it seems that the current scientific explanation is that the runaway greenhouse effect was caused by the evaporation of oceans (caused by the brightening of the sun). The presence of vapor in the atmosphere led to the runaway greenhouse effect.
Wow that is incredible. Isn’t Venus year equal to 200 or so Earth Days?

Space is so cool, fuck
Cosmic billiards
Are there any ramifications of that?
According to Superman (1978), time would move backwards.
It’s basic science really.

The toilet water swirls the other direction.
Could this also have contributed to the massive greenhouse effect it has?

I guess whatever hit it could have been made of largely carbon dioxide? No idea if anyone knows where the CO2 came from
