That is, unless you're looking in the ultraviolet, in which case the dazzling complexity of its noxious, high-pressure, thoroughly greenhouse effected atmosphere is plain to see. Read more here.

It looks quite lovely, all marbleized like that - hmm, I feel like I should say something about Venus being immortalized in marble before, but I can't think of anything good - or even moderately bad, so I'll just float off into space for now~
