No. Small raindrops are roughly spherical. Larger drops flatten as they fall through air, rather than developing the pointed top shown in drawings.
No. The study models what could happen to a hypothetical moon. It does not establish that Venus ever had one or that the proposed destruction actually occurred.
No. Uneven thickness comes from how the glass was made. Flow at ordinary temperatures is far too slow to explain visible thickening over centuries.
Its exact age is not established in the cited reports. The fossil is described as at least 10,000 years old, with carbon dating planned to determine its age more precisely.
No. The dramatic enlargement is a visual illusion. Atmospheric refraction can slightly flatten the Moon near the horizon, but it does not explain its much larger perceived size.
No. Neptune remains too faint for unaided viewing. NASA says binoculars or a telescope are needed to spot it near the Harvest Moon on September 26, 2026.
No. Five hours is a possible outcome under particular simulated conditions, not a confirmed measurement of how long the Moon actually took to form.
No. Water absorbs red light more strongly, giving it an intrinsic blue tint. The ocean's colour is not simply a reflection of the sky.
