Quote by Isaac Asimov
Ese mismo año, un grupo de astrónomos encabezado por Cornell H. Mayer recibió ondas deradio procedentes de Venus y quedó atónito al ver que la intensidad de esas ondas equivalÃa a la quecabÃa esperar de un objeto mucho más caliente de lo que se creÃa que era Venus. De ser eso cierto, nopodrÃa haber océano planetario en Venus; de hecho, no podÃa haber agua lÃquida de ninguna clase (y asÃse echó a perder mi pobre novela, que sólo hacÃa dos años que habÃa sido publicada).
Summary
This quote explains how a group of astronomers, led by Cornell H. Mayer, received radio waves from Venus that had a surprisingly high intensity. This intensity suggested that Venus was much hotter than previously believed, which challenged the existing idea of a planetary ocean on the planet. Furthermore, it implied that there could be no liquid water on Venus at all. The quote also mentions the disappointment of the author, as his recently published novel was rendered inaccurate by this discovery.
