'''''Astronauci''''' (''The Astronauts'') is one of [[Stanislaw Lem]]'s earliest novels, and his second science-fiction work.<ref>after the obscure ''The Man from Mars'' from 1946</ref>. Written in 1951, its success was what convinced Lem to get into science-fiction.
 
In the [[Socialist Realism|utopian Communist]] future, a crashed extraterrestrial starship is found underground during construction works, and aboard is a message in an alien language which, chillingly, indicates that a race from Venus is planning to eradicate all life on Earth. A multi-national expedition of scientists sets out to Venus in order to study the planet and prevent the tragedy by any means necessary. {{spoiler|Eventually, it turns out that the Venusians have annihilated their civilization in a self-destructive war long ago.}}
