Why doesn't Venus have a moon? A new study may have the answer
📍 How it ended
The recent coverage converged on the idea that Venus once possessed a moon that persisted for roughly two billion years before tidal forces or a moon‑forming impact caused it to spiral away and be destroyed by the planet’s harsh conditions. Proposed mechanisms included an orbital drama lasting about 1.7 billion years and the inability of the satellite to remain gravitationally bound.
