Astrophysicist may have solved the mystery of why Venus doesn’t have a moon

An astrophysicist may have solved the mystery regarding why Venus lacks a moon. While previous theories suggested the planet never acquired a satellite or lost one during an impact, new research proposes a different scenario. It suggests that the slow rotation of Venus caused its former moon to spiral inwards, resulting in the planet effectively swallowing its own satellite. This cosmic event is believed to have significantly altered the evolution of Earth's twin through a giant fiery gulp.
