I am sorry, I don’t like the APOD postings that have animations or illustrations. Here is an old APOD of a real photo of the surface of Venus.
Explanation: This image is part of the first color panoramic view from Venus. A TV camera on the Soviet Venera 13 lander that parachuted to the surface on 1982 March 1 transmitted it. Venus’ clouds are composed of sulfuric acid droplets while its surface temperature is about 482 degrees Celsius at an atmospheric pressure of 92 times that of sea-level on Earth. Despite these harsh conditions, the Venera 13 lander survived long enough to send back a series of images and perform an analysis of the Venusian soil. Part of the lander itself is visible in the lower right portion of the image. An earlier Soviet Venus lander, Venera 7 (1970), was the first spacecraft to return data from the surface of another planet.

Sounds like a name for a drink in seedy space ranger bars.

Venusian women are smokin hot but not particularly friendly.
To: MtnClimber
None of the planets seem very human-friendly, but Venus has always seemed particularly ugly: sulfuric acid raid, lead-melting temperatures, near-perpetual darkness, pretty hellish if you ask me.

Makes you wonder what would happen if a huge water ice asteroid hit Venus? A object like Ceres in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter has a diameter of 580 miles, much of which is water ice.

I wonder what the lander looks like today?
All dissolved? A puddle of goo?
In a Venusian museum?
