I just read that we will probably call aliens from venus "venutians" just as we'd call aliens from mars "martians." But the appropriate latin conjugation of the adjective thing is "Venereal" instead of "Venutian" due to the gender of the noun. But that word seems to already be widely used (and would be confusing). Astrophysics seems to be only the SECOND oldest profession.
