Venus, the second rock from the Sun, named after the Roman goddess of love and beauty, has long been devoid of moons, satellites, or even party invitations from the more popular planets. This lack of celestial company has led to various hypotheses, including the idea that Venus, in a fit of pique, once had moons but uninvited them due to their poor table manners and incessant lunar howling. The truth is a tad more scientific but infinitely less exciting – Venus simply doesn't have any moons. Some say it's due to its overbearing gravity, while others believe the moons are just fashionably late.
Should you wish to holiday in places devoid of moons, Venus is your galactic destination of choice. Just remember to pack sunscreen with an SPF of at least 4 million.
To search for the elusive Venusian moons, one must first find Venus – a gleaming jewel in the sky, often visible just after sunset or before sunrise on Earth. Then, squint really hard. If you see any moons, you may have accidentally looked at Jupiter.
Avoid any space charlatans selling maps to Venusian moons. And do try not to melt upon arrival; Venus has a rather toasty surface temperature that makes a dip in molten lead seem like a brisk swim in the Arctic.
A whimsical fact, of course: it is widely rumoured amongst the more gossipy asteroids that Venus is still saving a dance for a moon that never shows up, hence its slow, retrograde rotation as it waits endlessly in the cosmic ballroom.

Assets, in the universal sense, are quite unlike the traditional notion of wealth and more about collecting experiences—and occasionally, rare species of intergalactic flora, which may or may not be sentient. For example, owning a piece of real estate on Vogsphere is often seen as a remarkable asset, mostly because it serves as a conversation starter about one's survival instincts, or profound lack thereof.

A blog, an abbreviation of the antiquated term 'weblog,' is a sort of informational pamphlet no one asked for, existing in the digital ether. It typically consists of text, images, and sometimes those moving pictures with cats, chronicling anything from the mundane dietary habits of the author to the latest theories on why the universe probably doesn't exist. A blog is to journalism what a whoopee cushion is to interior design: it can be surprisingly loud and somewhat entertaining, but ultimately people question why it's there in the first place.
