Moreover, explaining its reasons for shifting attention towards Venus again, NASA wrote, “Why Venus? Scientists believe that Venus once resembled Earth and may have even been habitable, but now it's unbearably hot and covered in clouds of sulfuric acid. What happened? DAVINCI+ and VERITAS aim to find out.”
