The tops of the clouds on the night side of Venus are about -45°C. So it's not actually glowing like the image implies. But in infrared, you can reprocess the colours to make a delightful image like the above.

Well, I know you're implying the greenhouse gases will kill us all. And that might be true, but probably not in ten years.
