Imagine Standing On This Planet… What Would Happen To You?
The moment your foot touches the ground, your bones would be crushed and shattered… and your entire body would vaporize in less than 5 seconds!
This sounds like science fiction… but this is literally what would happen to you if you tried to visit Venus.
In 1982, the Soviet Union undertook an impossible scientific adventure… a probe called Venera 13 landed on the surface of Venus, one of the most hostile and hellish places in the solar system.

The temperature there is over 450 degrees Celsius… enough to melt even lead!
The atmospheric pressure is 90 times that of Earth… meaning your body would be crushed in less than a second if you stood there.
And yet… the probe managed to survive for 127 minutes before the planet literally swallowed it whole.
Just 127 minutes… but they were the greatest 127 minutes in the history of Venus exploration.
During this short time, you sent us this rare image, one of the clearest and most beautiful pictures humanity has ever seen of Venus's surface.
Dark rocks… a suffocating sky… a land that looks like it emerged from the depths of hell.
An entire planet covered in toxic gases, scorching heat, and deadly pressure.
And all this is happening on another world… our close neighbor in the solar system… but one that resembles a cosmic hell where no human could survive.
