SF&F Picture 53 out of 56 by Shelz Keast.

“Scarred by the brimstone of Venus a mother and calf make their lonely trek across the endless wastes.”

Beagle log transmission 22/8/2031

Silicon based life form present on Venus. Adult, presumably a mother, and a juvenile detected. Further investigation of life forms hampered due to atmospheric conditions.

Not my best picture. The Beagle can just be seen poking out of the clouds in the right hand corner. Strictly speaking rain doesn’t fall on the surface of Venus, it evaporates before it hits the ground. It’s more dramatic having it though. Venus would appear this hazy though.

6 Nov 2006	Dave Cripps	Loading... Not the best place to go for a stroll. Hot enough to melt metals (ie: soviet landers) and raining acid. But silicon based critters may be a little tougher. What would there be to eat I wonder? Shelz Keast replies: "I think they would eat trace metals on the surface, a bit like snails and barnacles in the sea. "
25 Mar 2007	Steven P. Love	Loading... I recently saw a documentary about Venus and did you know that it is now believed that Venus turns itself inside out every 500 million years? Wonder if Silicon based lifeforms could survive that? Shelz Keast replies: "I think I remeber something about that.... I think that it might hapen over 500 million years so they could probably survive. Isn't it volcanic eruptions that cause it? Anyway I recently saw a documentry on the Sun and then on the Moon. Thanks for commenting, oh and I liked your Andromoda picture."
