okay. so. like… given that “diamond” is a particularly defined cyrstalline form of carbon. Does neptune rain solid diamond? wouldn’t that be more like… ‘hail’?

also. it’s always fun to me reading some older scifi where they colonize venus because it looked like… how we look at mars today.

I read old scifi where Venus was full of rainforests. That’s not how we see Mars today

There was a young adult sci fi series by Asimov called ‘Lucky Starr’ and I remember Venus was Oceanic in that one. Old old series.

All we could see were clouds implying rain (forests), or even more (and only) water.
