Just wait until the Solar Orbiter flies into Uranus.
If it takes pictures, it will save you money on a colonoscopy.
YES there always has to be one immature buffoon who can’t resist making a 3rd grade joke every time a planet is mentioned. A real jackass.
And I’m just the guy for the job!!

Unlike Earth, Venus doesn’t have a magnetic field,
is that because it’s a rock and doesn’t have a liquid core?

From space.com:
But despite the planets' similarities, the magnetic field of Venus is far weaker than on Earth's. The reasons for that may have to do with the core. Part of it could simply have to do with motion. The planet spins very slowly — once every 243 Earth days — and the core may not spin fast enough to create a magnetic field the way the core of Earth and other planets do. The core may also be completely solid, or may not even exist at all. Taking readings on the interior of another planet is a significant challenge.

Earth’s core has a lot more metal, some from the other planet that hit it, churning the core and making the moon from lighter material kicked off. Venus has less temperature gradient to fuel convection. And earth spins a lot faster. Moving magnets generate more current.

I just looked her up. She was definitely, Not Guilty! Even though she could have been my Grandmother.

Thanks for reminding me that I'm overdue for my colonoscopy and a visit to my oncologist. I'm still paying for that upper GI scoping they did last June. They said they could do both at once, and in retrospect I should have let them (I was completely knocked out, after all), but the idea of having scopes shoved down my throat and up my tuchis at the same time didn't appeal to me at that particular momnet. Besides, I hate that stuff they make you drink the night before your up-yer-ass-o-scopy. I end up sitting in the bathroom for the last four hours with a stack of Bassmaster and Guns & Ammo mags I've already read twice.
