who are the discoverers of venus?

Considering that Venus is visible to the naked eye and that it is one of the brightest objects in the sky, I would have to say that the discoverer of Venus was probably the first human to look at the sky and think "I wonder what that is?"

Ferdinand Magellan was dubbed the "discoverer" of the Philippines after he landed on the island of Homonhon, near Samar, on March 17, 1521. He claimed the islands in the name of King Philip II of Spain and named them Felipinas, the Philippines. He was later killed in Mactan Island of Cebu in a clash with native warriors led by a chieftain named Lapu-lapu.

In the last few years of the 18 cetury (I estimate between 1793-1799) Baron Franz Xaver von Zach ordered a group of 24 astronomers to find a "missing planet" (the planet we know now as neptune) to solve the mystery of uranus's strange rotation.  However, the first asteroid discovered, 1 ceres, was discovered by accident by Giuseppe Piazzi.  Later, there were several other found.  The ammount keep going on through today!

Venus is closer to the Earth than Mars is.

Mercury has been observed for thousands of years, and the Babylonians are credited with mentioning it in writing for the first time some 3000 years ago.\n\n* Johann Hieronymus Schroeter was the first to observe the planet Mercury and record detailed drawings of Mercury's surface features. Schroeter lived from 1745 to 1816. Unfortunately, his sketches were not very accurate. \n\n* Streaks similar to the so-called "Martian Canals" were also seen on Mercury by Schiaparellit and Percival Lowell (1855-1916). \n\n* An astronomer by the name of Eugenios Antoniadi (1870-1944) charted the surface of Mercury in great detail. His maps were used for almost 50 years. He used one of the stronger telescopes of his time and found the canals to be optical illusions. \n\n* Mariner 10 provided a close look at Mercury which redrew earlier telescope charts and maps.

Neith is the name given to an object first sighted by Giovanni Cassini, which he believed to be a moon of Venus. It has since been determined that no such moon exists.\n\nIn 1672, Giovanni Cassini found a small object close to Venus. He did not take great note of his observation, but, when he saw it again in 1686, he made a formal announcement of a possible moon of Venus.\n\nThe object was seen by many other astronomers over a large period of time: by James Short in 1740, by Andreas Mayer in 1759, by Joseph Louis Lagrange in 1761, eighteen observations in 1761, including one in which a small spot was seen following Venus while Venus was in transit across the Sun, eight observations in 1764, and by Christian Horrebow in 1768.\n\nMany astronomers, however, failed to find any moon during their observations of Venus, including the great William Herschel in 1768.\n\nCassini originally observed the Neith to be one-fourth the diameter of Venus. In 1761, Lagrange announced that Neith's orbital plane was perpendicular to the ecliptic. In 1777, J.H. Lambert estimated its orbital period as eleven days and three hours.\n\nIn 1766, the director of the Vienna observatory speculated that the observations of the moon were optical illusions: the bright image of Venus, he said, was reflected in the eye and back into the telescope, creating a smaller secondary image.\n\nIn 1884, M. Hozeau, the former director of the Royal Observatory of Brussels suggested that the "moon" was actually a planet which orbited the Sun every 283 days. Such a planet would be in conjunction with Venus every 1080 days, which fit with the recorded observations. Hozeau was also the first to give the object the name Neith, after an Egyptian goddess.\n\nThe Belgian Academy of Sciences published a paper which studied each reported sighting of Neith in 1887. Ultimately, they determined that most of the sightings could be explained by stars which had been in the vicinity of Venus, including Chi Orionis, M Tauri, 71 Orionis, Nu Geminorum and Theta Librae.

Funny question!!! I'd say the Phoenicians were the ones who discovered us in the sense Columbus discovered America. The sailed the Mediterranean, arrived in the South of Spain 3000 years ago and founded the town of Cadiz, which still exists. Actually, it is the oldest Western town!!

there is no single person that biscovered earth. some theroies are the bacteria in space  rode on comets that landed on earth, in this case they discovered earth.

No. No moons are known to be orbiting Venus.

You need to do a lot of studying to learn about many things.  Venus is different colors depending on where it is and we are.  We do not get anything from the planet.  No person has been there yet.  It is so hot there we would melt.

Proxima Centauri was discovered in 1915 by Robert Innes while he was Director of the Union Observatory in Johannesburg, South Africa.

Yes, other stars with orbiting planets have been discovered. One is Upsilon Andromedae.

Benjamin Franklin but a lot of scientists contributed in the discovery. It all started 600 BC with the greeks followed by Dr William Gilbert,Benjamin Franklin,Galvani and Volta,Michael Faraday,Thomas Edison and Joseph Swan,George Westinghouse and Nikola Tesla,James Watt and finally Andre Ampere and George Ohm
