Go to the Blue Marble Navigator website and check with the night lights imagery. @10 Phillip: Amen to that. You can die before seeing most deep space objects with your own eyes if you have no car. @12 Flip: That's a sunset. The ISS was over the Atlantic Ocean. See the ground track I posted earlier. @16 Diego: That’s the way I read it too. Go to the Blue Marble Navigator website and check with the night lights imagery.

If you can handle "Jovian" for Jupiter, you can handle the degenerate 3rd-declension Latin noun paradigm that suggests "Venerean" for Venus. Besides, it fits in with the common adjectives associated with planets. Just change the <i>n</i> to <i>l</i>: Mercurial - Mercurian Venereal - Venerean Terrestrial - Terrestrian Martial - Martian Jovial - Jovian @2 MTU & 8 Anon: Yes, “Venerean”.
