Clearly our physically dark and still somewhat salty moon is more than a
little extra secondary IR/FIR toasty hot by day, although it's starting
to look a whole lot better off for Venus that's still a touch hotter
than our moon, and that's even going by the somewhat cooler season of
nighttime, as eventually getting reported by the Venus EXPRESS mission.
This latest round and somewhat belated contribution, from the absolute
glacial moving VIRTIS team of scientific snails (slowest possible
science in town), isn't the sort of proof-positive that we can go
running ourselves about ***-naked on even a few elevated places on
Venus, but it is suggesting that not all of Venus is summarily roasting
itself to death from the top down, as having been insisted upon by all
of our Old Testament thumping wizards of having hyped whatever's
MI6/NSA/CIA/KGB~NASA scripted.

Paging Mr. Guth, Mr. Brad Guth. Please pick up the Venusian Surface
Clue Phone...
...oops, damn. Too late. The Venusian Surface Clue Phone has just
been converted to a molten slag pancake.
Without question, you've just got my undivided attention, as to the
matter of the newish planetology of Venus (specifically of the observed
nighttime season) being so damn hot and nasty, just as it should be if
your *** were residing upon an active lava or mud flow of whatever's
molten plastic, because the geothermal surface is so freaking active and
thus unavoidably hot in such places.
Apparentlty, according to this extremely low resolution "VIRTIS
temperature map", the supposed "Hell-hot surface" of Venus is not
keeping up with the infomercial spewing demands of folks here snookering
one another, if need be to death, and than some.
However, those 453°C locations seem a wee bit interesting, to say the
least.

First off, sorry for my initial bad reading of the low temperature end
being 433°C instead of the correct 453°C. However, even the red
indications of 473°C is offering a good 16°C less thermal impact than
I'd expected of those hot spots, such as those areas depicted in white
that are not yet thermally specified could be seriously nasty.
Gee whiz, mike flugennock, I wonder why most all of our regular laws of
physics can not be applied as to robotics, and even much less on behalf
of village idiots like yourself surviving there. It must be because
there's simply too much local green/renewable energy to spare.
Of course, climbing yourself above that nighttime surface, as though
efficiently cruising along in a composite rigid-airship, it's getting
cooler yet by nearly 10 K/km. That is unless you are simply hell bent
upon cruising over an active gas vent or perhaps some nasty volcano,
which Venus (being considerably less old than Earth) has more than it's
fair share of such geothermal considerations.
