From the latest scientific advances to observation advice for amateur astronomers, a beautifully illustrated exploration of one of Earth's closest neighbors. This is a new account of Venus, taking in the most recent research into this mysterious, inhospitable world. It looks at the history of our observations of the planet, from early astronomy to future space missions, and seeks to shed light on many of the questions that remain unanswered, such as why Venus and the Earth-so similar in size and mass-evolved in such different directions, and how Venus acquired its dense carbon-dioxide atmosphere.
