I have always been fascinated by astronomy and the planets. As a teenager I got up early on many cold winter mornings to catch a glimpse of Venus through my small telescope. I never was much of an astronomer, but it was exciting to see this world which approaches ours more closely than any other except the Moon. I knew of various mysteries on Venus, such as the strange ashen light which lights up its night side, but little did I suspect the many other mysteries which astronomers have observed over the years.

There has been some discussion among scientists over the years as to where the heat comes from which makes Venus the hottest world in our solar system. Some have questioned the validity of the Greenhouse effect and whether this really can be the cause of the heat on Venus.

The Ashen light of Venus is mystery which has had astronomers scratching their heads for centuries. At times the night side of Venus lights up on a vast scale with enormous sections of its night side being visible. What causes this? Russian space probes discovered that this effect was caused by oxygen atoms recombining on the night side of Venus. The theory is that these atoms are disassociated by light from the Sun on the day side. Winds then carry these atoms to the night side where they recombine and give off light. But is this explanation valid? Venusian meteorology is very constant and if this were the case then the ashen light should be an ongoing phenomenon occurring all the time. But in fact, this is not so. The Ashen light comes and goes in a mysterious manner which no one understands. I have been wondering if in fact oxygen is disassociated inside the planet by an Inner Sun. In such a case these atoms would go unnoticed until weather phenomenon inside the planet caused these atoms to be blown outwards. The recombining atoms would go unnoticed on the sunward side of the planet but would be seen on the night side only. This erratic type of weather phenomenon is similar in concept to the air which escapes from Mercury causing snow-falls and dust-storms in its polar regions. The same type of mechanism may be at work on both planets.

Another phenomenon is that of random bright spots which occur on the night side of Venus. These remain unexplained. Astronomers have observed and documented these over the years but nobody has even attempted to explain them. I suspect that the bright spots and ashen light to be part of the same phenomenon - recombining atoms emanating from the inside of a Hollow Planet.
