Venus is the most brilliant of the planets. This spring, it will be seen shining like a small lamp in the evening twilight sky about an hour after sunset. Venus is about the same size as the Earth, but there the similarity ends. It is shrouded in dense, poisonous clouds, so thick that they trap the Sun’s heat near the surface. Here, where there may be active volcanoes, the temperature is hotter than an oven, and the pressure would crush you flat! Come fly with us across the hostile, baked surface of Earth’s ugly sister.
