Even though that it's named after the Roman goddess of love, I wouldn't exactly call Venus.

Lovely.

The atmosphere on Venus is like 93 times thicker than on Earth.

Sometimes called Earth's evil twig.

Hello and welcome to the supermassive podcast from the Royal Astronomical Society with me,

science journalist Izzy Clark, astrophysicist Dr. Becky's mother's, and Dr. Becky has a new

assistant, I think.

We have a new member of the Supermassive team here. Yes, we do. We have a 12-week-old kitten

with us today. She's lying on the desk

in front of me. So if you hear a per on the microphone at any point, that's why. Her name is

Pip, short for Pippin, short for Peregrintouk. And she also has, like, an official breeder

name as well. So, like, the breeder, you know, gives them like the litter, the names.

And this litter all began with the letter V.

And so they said, what would you like to call her that begins with the letter V?

And I said, well, that's an easy one.

It's got to be Venus.

Amazing.

That's so good.

Funny you should mention Venus, Becky, you might say, is because we, well, we've realized

we've done a big old tour of the soul system across this podcast, but last month, the

producers, then it be you is, realized.

Who was that?
