• Matt Williams at Universe Today considers how comets and other bodies could be exporting life from Earth to the wider galaxy.


• Matt Williams at Universe Today explores one study suggesting Venus could have remained broadly Earth-like for billions of years.


• Matt Williams at Universe Today also notes another story suggesting, based on the nature of the lava of the volcanic highlands of Venus, that world was never warm and wet.
