This is one of six Geocaches launched at the MGA2015 Picnic Event which was held on September 12, 2015. We decided to create a series that would be "out of this World!" So the theme of the series is the six planets of our solar system that are visible with the naked eye. The caches are placed in the order of the planets away from the sun.
Venus
Venus is the second planet from the Sun, orbiting it every 224.7 Earth days. It has no natural satellite. It is named after the Roman goddess of love and beauty. After the Moon, it is the brightest natural object in the night sky, reaching an apparent magnitude of −4.6, bright enough to cast shadows. Because Venus is between the Earth and the sun, it never appears to venture far from the Sun: its elongation reaches a maximum of 47.8°. The first robotic space probe mission to Venus, and the first to any planet, began on 12 February 1961.
