MODERATORS
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.
The picture is an collaboration by Damia Bouic and three professional scientists Thomas Widemann, Emmanuel Marcq, and Colin Wilson. Original images taken by Japanese satellite Akatsuki.
