Greg Smye-Rumsby: If Venus Had a Moon
The planet Venus is a fascinating world, a world that should by all accounts be a near twin of the Earth with continents and oceans undergoing seasonal changes and possessing a moon. However, the reality is very different. Its surface is completely blanketed by dense opaque cloud making observation of surface features impossible. Venus is not one of the planets favoured by most amateurs but what if it had a moon?
