I'm going to be honest - my first thought when I read the article was "Venus is alive". Imagine a whole [i]living planet.[/i] I can see the sci-fi book now - my first instinct would be a horror novel, following our intrepid explorers as they attempt to find the source of life on Venus only to realize that the planet itself is alive... and it wants them [i]gone.[/i] Or maybe it's curious, and it wants to keep them or study them for its own purposes. (We named our planets after gods, we never considered that they might really [i]be[/i] gods.) Heck, you could even take a Lovecraftian spin on it, make the planet a Great Old One or something similar.

Either way, that's amazing! It's always super exciting to me when the space dudes find new stuff.
