About this Event

Mid-Kent Astronomical Society - Greg Smye-Rumsby

The planet Venus is a fascinating world, a world that should by all accounts be a near twin of the Earth with continents and oceans undergoing seasonal changes and possessing a moon. However, the reality is very different. Its surface is completely blanketed by dense opaque cloud making observation of surface features impossible. Those starting out to follow their passion in astronomy often take in the changing aspect of Saturns rings, the storms within Jupiter’s clouds and of course the surface features of Mars as it spins slowly on its axis. Venus is not one of the planets favoured by most amateurs BUT what if it had a moon?
