An Englishman rarely ever gets to see the planet Venus in the Sky. The reason for this is because clouds hang over our side of the Island much of the time, and most English people live in built up areas so we only see buildings and hills on the horizon. It also doesn't help to live far from the equator. However, I see the planet a few times a year. I'm not sure if the Scots get to see it more often.
The planet Venus is always close to the sun from our Earthly perspective so it is visible as a bright star on the horizon when the sun sets or rises.
I often wonder if it was possible make a floating island in the future. Like the floating village in the computer game "Zelda and the skyward sword". An island above the clouds and with the best view of the sky.
I would imagine the island would use panels that collect sunlight and power propellers inside. The panels would store surplus power in batteries so they could keep running at night. The many panels would be self contained cartridges that are replaceable when maintenance is required and carry the weight of the island.
