102 Astronomy One consequence which would follow from this motion should be specially noted here in connexion with the possibles j3fcistence\ e'ff life', oil the sister planet. If the rotation of the planet* b'e what is supposed then one hemi- sphere miw3| '4iiJ6y'#eype;tuiil day with the Sun for ever overhead. ' "On such 'a* world 'the phenomena of sunrise and sunset would be equally unknown. Those unhappy regions which are situated on the other side of the planet must for ever endure the gloo...m of night. It is obvious under these circumstances that if there be life on Venus then that life must all be crowded into that one hemisphere where the sunshine is perennial. Kegions on the other side of the planet would be submitted to appalling conditions of ever- lasting frost. Living forms would require to be consider- ably modified from those which we know here, ere they could be adapted to dwell in a blaze of perpetual sun- beams. If there be inhabitants on Venus endowed with curiosity and enterprise akin to that which characterises the inhabitants of our Earth, they may be occasionally tempted to despatch exploring expeditions from their sunny climes to discover the mysteries of their dark hemisphere, just as we send forth expeditions in the hope of solving the mysteries of our Arctic and Antarctic regions.
