	Venus (planet) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Venus was known to ancient Babylonians around 1600 BC, and to the Mayan civilization (the Mayans developed a religious calendar based on Venus's motion) and must have been known long before in prehistoric times, given that it is the third brightest object in the sky after the Sun and Moon.
		Venus (and also Mercury) is not visible from Earth when it is full, since at that time it is at superior conjunction, rising and setting concomitantly with the Sun and hence lost in the Sun's glare.
		Venus is brightest when approximately 25% of its disk is illuminated; this typically occurs 37 days both before (in the evening sky) and after (in the morning sky), its inferior conjunction.

		Venus has an atmosphere consisting mainly of carbon dioxide and a small amount of nitrogen, with a pressure at the surface about 90 times that of Earth (a pressure equivalent to a depth of 1 kilometer under Earth's ocean).
		Venus has slow retrograde rotation, meaning it rotates from east to west instead of west to east as all other known planets in the solar system do.
		Venus was the most important celestial body observed by the Maya, who called it Chak ek, "the Great Star", and considered it a representation of Quetzalcoatl ; they apparently did not worship any of the other planets.

	Venus
		The bluish hue of Venus is an effect of the colorization technique used to enhance subtle contrasts in cloud patterns and indicates that this image was taken through a violet filter.
		The bright area running from the upper right to the lower left may be part of a belt of ridges formed by compression and thickening of the upper layers of the planet.
		Such features are thought to be the result of hot rising bodies of magma that reach the crust, and cause it to partially melt and collapse, generating volcanic flows and fault patterns that radiate from the central structure.

	Asteroid belt (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		The asteroid belt is a region of the solar system falling roughly between the planets Mars and Jupiter where the greatest concentration of asteroid orbits can be found.
		It is termed the main belt when contrasted with other concentrations of minor planets, since these may also be termed asteroid belts.
		Asteroid belts are a staple of science fiction stories less concerned with realism than with drama, since they are always portrayed as being so dense that adventurous measures must be taken to avoid an impact.

	NASA's Solar System Exploration: Planets: Venus: Overview
		Venus is covered by thick, rapidly spinning clouds that trap surface heat, creating a scorched greenhouse-like world with temperatures hot enough to melt lead and pressure so intense that standing on Venus would feel like the pressure felt 900 meters deep in Earth's oceans.
		Because Venus reflects so much sunlight, it is usually the brightest planet in the sky.
		In addition, the thick atmosphere allows the Sun's heat in but does not allow it to escape, resulting in surface temperatures over 450 Â°C, hotter than the surface of the planet Mercury, which is closest to the Sun.

	Planet Venus
		The Planet Venus is the second closest planet to the sun.
		Venus is covered with thick clouds that create a greenhouse effect that makes it very hot.
		Venus is often called Earth's twin because the two planets are close in size, but that's the only similarity.

	Our Solar System
		Venus' atmosphere acts like a greenhouse, permitting solar radiation to reach the surface but trapping the heat that would ordinarily be radiated back into space.
		But on Venus the surface temperature is sufficient to weaken the rock, which cracks just about everywhere, preventing the formation of major plates and large earthquake faults like the San Andreas Fault in California.
		Venus' predominant weather pattern is a high-altitude, high-speed circulation of clouds that contain sulfuric acid.

	ORRERY: Kuiper Belt Objects (KBOs)
		The Kuiper Belt is named after the famous Dutch astronomer, Gerald Kuiper [1905-73], who was a pioneer in solar system research using spacecraft.
		When the first KBOs were discovered, after Kuiper's death, the belt was named in his honour.
		His one error was to deny the existence of any other divisions in Saturn 's rings, except for Cassini's.

		This work was described in an inventory made after the death of the latter as Venus dans les eaües à la sortie de Cythère and was engraved by Louis Desplaces after 1717.
		The present painting was believed to have been at one time in the collection of the Hermitage Museum, St Petersburg but this seems to be a wrong assertion as the one kept there is The Birth of Venus by Noel Nicolas Coypel signed and dated 1732 while Antoine had died in 1722.

		So far out of the three fainter belts of Jupiter, the south south temperate belt is the brightest with the north temperate belt the second brightest and the south temperate belt being the faintest of the three miner belts.
		The north temperate belt is the hardest to view because it only goes about one third of the way accross the planet.
		But after looking at a map of Jupiter which shows all of its belts, I think I am observing the south south temperate belt which is closer to Jupiter's south pole than the south temperate belt.
