Don't Miss Venus and Mars in the Sky This Weekend!

Venus, the hottest planet in the solar system, will be at its highest point in the sky on June 4, making for great viewing during the evening hours. Although often called Earth's "twin," Venus is a "hellish world" with surface temperatures hot enough to melt lead. NASA's upcoming DAVINCI Mission to Venus aims to collect unprecedented detail and information about the planet to help solve the mystery of how it became a smoldering terrestrial sphere.
