Despite this, it has been suggested that radio pulses recorded by the spacecraft Venus Express ( which began orbiting Venus in April 2006 ) may originate from lightning on Venus.

* Venus Express – 9 November 2005 – Venus polar orbiter

* Venus Express — ESA probe sent for the observation of the Venus's weather ( 2005 )

Orbital telescopes such as INTEGRAL, XMM-Newton and COROT, and space probes like Mars Express, Venus Express, Cassini-Huygens and Rosetta, operated by the European space agency are revolutionizing our knowledge of the Universe and our Solar System.

His successes as a film producer include Bugsy Malone, Midnight Express, The Duellists ( Ridley Scott's feature film debut ), Chariots of Fire ( which won the Academy Award for Best Picture ), Local Hero, Memphis Belle, Meeting Venus and The Killing Fields and The Mission with Roland Joffé ( which won the Palme d ' Or at the Cannes Film Festival in 1986 ) mostly in association with Goldcrest.

Used by European Space Agency on their Venus Express Mission

* Venus Express ( 2005 ) is an ESA satellite to study Venus.

In the relatively short time since these early observations, Venus has been observed at additional wave lengths in the range from 0.8 to 10.2 cm, and Jupiter has been observed over the wave-length range from 3.03 to 68 Aj.

Since some of the Roman months were named in honor of divinities, and as April was sacred to the goddess Venus, the Festum Veneris et Fortunae Virilis being held on the first day, it has been suggested that Aprilis was originally her month Aphrilis, from her equivalent Greek goddess name Aphrodite ( Aphros ), or from the Etruscan name Apru.

Through the use of manned and unmanned spacecraft, volcanism has been discovered on Venus, Mars, the Moon and Io, a satellite of Jupiter.

Relativistic precession has been observed for all planets that allow for accurate precession measurements ( Mercury, Venus and the Earth ), as well as in binary pulsar systems, where it is larger by five orders of magnitude.

In the Solar System, Mars, Venus, and the moon Titan also exhibit greenhouse effects ; that on Venus is particularly large, due to its atmosphere, which consists mainly of dense carbon dioxide Titan has an anti-greenhouse effect, in that its atmosphere absorbs solar radiation but is relatively transparent to infrared radiation.

At the present epoch, Mars has the next largest eccentricity while the smallest orbital eccentricities are seen in Venus and Neptune.

Shakespeare scholars point out that Sobran has simply misread Barkstead ’ s poem, the last stanza of which is a comparison of Barkstead ’ s poem to Shakespeare ’ s " Venus and Adonis ", and has mistaken the grammar also, which makes it clear that Barkstead is referring to Shakespeare ’ s " song " in the past tense, not Shakespeare himself.

In contrast, Jupiter's banded appearance shows many such zones, Titan has a single jet stream near the 50th parallel north latitude, and Venus has a single jet near the equator.

* The Outward Urge by John Wyndham has the first successful landing on Venus in 2144.

Venus has been described as perhaps " the most original creation of the Roman pantheon ", and " an ill-defined and assimilative " native goddess, combined " with a strange and exotic Aphrodite ".

As it flew by Venus on December 14, 1962, Mariner 2 scanned the planet with its pair of radiometers, revealing that Venus has cool clouds and an extremely hot surface.

In 1980, the Pioneer Venus Orbiter indeed showed that Venus has a small weak magnetic field.

Basalt commonly erupts on Io, and has also formed on Earth's Moon, Mars, Venus, and even on the asteroid Vesta.

The spaceship to Mars has been confiscated, but he remains determined to get there, by way of Venus if necessary.
