Pertaining to or of Venus: Venusian (not venereal!)

Venereal - that's another area of human endeavor :-P

I'm guessing that the possessive of Phobos is Phobian.

If you're afraid of this moon are you phobophobic?

I guess it can also be said that the Sun is possessive of planetary bodies...

Great job as always with APOD!

Phobian, eh?

Sounds a little psychiatric to me.

My favorite word (invented) is: aibohphobia, the morbid fear of palindromes--and the only word which causes the disorder it seeks to describe.

Also arachibutyrophobia, the fear of having peanut butter stick to the roof of your mouth.
