    I read old scifi where Venus was full of rainforests. That’s not how we see Mars today

      There was a young adult sci fi series by Asimov called ‘Lucky Starr’ and I remember Venus was Oceanic in that one. Old old series.

        All we could see were clouds implying rain (forests), or even more (and only) water.

          Yep. I found it fascinating. I think the version I had probably had a forward from Asimov talking about how we were wrong about guesses about Venus.

          I don’t remember much else from the story except this, and the big reveal of the whodunnit. (Or more accurately the how).
