Venus is the second planet of our Solar system. It is the celestial twin of our Earth. However Venus only looks like Earth from the outside. The Atmospheric pressure of Venus is 90 times the atmospheric pressure at sea level on Earth. The Clouds that cover whole of the planet are composed of sulfuric acid. The surface temperature of Venus is about 470 degrees centigrade. All in all Venus is a very hostile place.

On these pages are presented my pictures of Venus taken with Celestron NexStar8i telescope and Philips ToUcam Pro II camera.
