I hear the weather is wonderful on the Venusian surface this time of year.

I remember the Soviet Venera probes. The grainy photos before the landers were crushed and fried. Venus is a tough neighborhood. Beautiful but tough.

Venus is the hottest place in the solar system other than the sun. He'd fry in hell for sure!

Seeing this beauty in our own solar system makes me happy....

The universe keeps going and the shit we are dealing with politically - while A LOT - is not even a blip on the cosmic scale. It too will pass and we will get through it.

All I can say is that is stunning to behold. Kind of psychedelic.
