doesn't have much (if any) , no limestone, and little if any other carbonates.

Those carbonates instead CO2 in Venus' atmosphere -over 90 times our atmospheric pressure. This gives Venus a surface temperature of 475°C.

Poor Venus.

Calcite for a habitable planet!

@Geotripper Nice photo! High noon for the lander/rover. The mission is halfway through -it started at dawn and will end (probably) at dusk, two weeks from now.

A photo of today's moon from Montreal (23Aug23) using a hand-held cellphone camera. With the bare eye, I can almost see where Chandrayaan-3 landed -near the South Pole, on the lit side, just to the right of the terminator. 380,000 km away. Astounding.
