On 22 October the Russians landed a space-probe on the planet Venus and sent back pictures of the surface which have taken astronomers completely by surprise. Venus has been called the planet of mystery - and these results make it more mysterious still. Patrick Moore talks to Dr Garry Hunt about the new questions raised by these landings.
