In preparation for what TESS and other new spacecraft will find, astrobiologists have simulated the climate of a potential Venus. A new paper by UCR's Stephen Kane suggests a model for the sun's energy impact on Venus is found with the exoplanet Kepler-1649b and its star. “It is almost identical to the Venus of our own solar system in terms of size and the energy it receives from its host star,” Kane said.
