Mikhail Lomonosov did not "discover" Venus. Venus is often the third brightest object in the sky (with the first two being the Sun and Moon); it's been known since prehistoric times.
What Lomonosov did was guess that Venus had an atmosphere (correctly, as it turns out; Venus does in fact have an atmosphere). He based this opinion on telescopic observations of Venus. So his name is connected with Venus, but he didn't by any means discover it.

It was not until the Russian Venera program, did scientist really find out what the atmosphere and temperature of Venus was really like. Many Venera probes were sent to Venus, each time gathering a little bit more information. Most suffering from the immense pressure and heat. Some "died" on entry into the atmosphere another from the immense pressure One mission "failed" due to the melting of the "camera lens cap" due to the immense heat.

Venus. In 1761, a Russian mathematician named Mikhail Lomonosov discovered that Venus has an atmosphere composed of sulfuric acid. This makes its atmosphere much denser and hotter than Earth's. The dense Venusian atmosphere makes visual observation, like with a telescope, of the surface impossible.
