According to the '<a href="http://www.daviddarling.info/encyclopedia/V/Venusatmos.html" rel="nofollow">Internet Encyclopedia of Science</a>' <i>"Venus has a dense atmosphere, composed chiefly of carbon dioxide, which generates a surface pressure 90 times greater than that on Earth. This massive blanket of carbon dioxide is also responsible for a runaway greenhouse effect that heats the planet's surface to an average temperature of 467 The surface of Venus look accurate but not the sky.

Check out: http://www.nasa.gov/centers/goddard/news/topstory/2006/vesper_prt.htm No, the really iffiness about that images is the blueness of the sky. And the highly unlikely use of what looks like solar cells to power the craft. No under those clouds, I think. And certainly not in that atmosphere ...

It is a way cool piece of hardware. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parkes_Observatory Trivia: The energy collected by the Parkes radio telescope over the course of an entire year would light a 100 Watt lightbulb for less than 100 billionths of a second.
