People act like sulfuric acid is a problem but it's one of the most useful industrial chemicals in existence. We could easily export that to Mars and have a very profitable trade. I know the focus is on Mars, but I also know that living long term in the clouds of Venus is way more feasible then expecting the human body to somehow adapt to both low gravity and relatively high radiation. It's also true that it would be far less risky to try to reproduce in an environment with near Earth normal gravity.

To celebrate the Steam's City Builder & Colony Sim Festival, I have released the first free to play demo of Venusville. Happy gaming!

So, I took two pictures of, what I think, is Venus. The shadow in my landscape photo appears to be the opposite of the moon. And in the portrait photo it looks like there's two shadows on Venus. Anyone got any idea what's happening here?

Would you like to live and work in a colony that floats 50km above the surface of the planet Venus? Where every day is an adventure full of fear, excitement, mystery and laughter.

Went to an evening seminar in Cambridge this week that would have involved looking at the stars through a telescope but couldn’t due to cloudy weather. (The U.K. eh) So as a back up, they gave us a presentation of what we would have been looking at that night and we would have been able to view Venus as it would have looked that night.

Hi folks,

I've just recently learned about the coronae of Venus, and I think they sound absolutely fascinating, but I'm not completely sure I understand what they are. If you don't mind, I'd appreciate someone either confirming that I've got it right, or correcting me.

So, as I understand it, they seem to have been formed by massive volcanic activity that heated the "earth" (for lack of a better term) under the surface, causing a dome to form. Then - and how this happened, I don't know - it either cooled off, or the lava drained, or something like that, causing the center of the dome to depress into a kind of crater. The outer edge, though, remained raised, forming a circular ridge that is essentially a big, circular lava tube. Basically I envision them like naturally-forming subway tunnels in a vaguely circular shape.

Is that accurate? Or am I misunderstanding it? If that is broadly accurate, how thick is the crust of these things? How deep are they? What might their interiors be like? I realize that we have precious little information on this, but whatever you can share would be greatly appreciated!

I think Venus has invaded my mind, I was waiting to take this photo of Venus all day

I am asking as I was trying to image how the view from a floating habitat would look like.

Is it like clouds on earth, where above a certain elevation, you can see the clouds under you, or there are no clouds as we know it, and the entire atmosphere is one big yellow cloud?
