Geocache Description:


This series of caches was inspired from Geocaching HQ's Planetary Pursuit in 2018. Planetary Pursuit FAQ

These caches can also potentially be found in the dark. (I did not check or attempt) But the caches do supposedly glow in the dark and not sure how long they will last after it gets dark out.

About Venus: Venus is the second planet from the Sun, orbiting it every 224.7 Earth days. It has the longest rotation period (243 days) of any planet in the Solar System and rotates in the opposite direction to most other planets (meaning the Sun would rise in the west and set in the east). It does not have any natural satellites. It is named after the Roman goddess of love and beauty. It is the second-brightest natural object in the night sky after the Moon, reaching an apparent magnitude of −4.6 – bright enough to cast shadows at night and, rarely, visible to the naked eye in broad daylight. Orbiting within Earth's orbit, Venus is an inferior planet and never appears to venture far from the Sun; its maximum angular distance from the Sun (elongation) is 47.8°.
