COSMIC MESSAGE

Venus is the brightest object in Earth's sky after the Sun and Moon. Because it orbits closer to the Sun than Earth, Venus always appears near the Sun, either as a morning or evening star. This image, captured by the Space Shuttle Atlantis in May 1989, shows Venus blazing above Earth's horizon at sunset from low Earth orbit.
