Uranus is weird, but I like it.

[โ€“] Kichae@lemmy.ca 1 points 11 hours ago

Way less weird than Venus. Poor Venus, nobody ever notices its quirks.

In the early solar system, Uranus seems to been hit by another body or it may have been perturbed by the gravitational influence of a large moon early in its formation.

The early solar system was strange and chaotic, and Uranus is evidence of that.

Very cool animation. I wonder whether you could walk on Venus on such a way as to stay in eternal twilight.

Edit: i just did the maths and yes you could if you walk at 7 km/h constantly or sth.

Charles Stross (on mastodon) has a book involving a terminator city in either Mercury or Venus, can't remember which.

Venus is quiet quitting the whole revolving thing.
