Beautiful Venus
« on: April 19, 2012, 06:45:59 PM »

True-color image of the Venus cloud cover
The planet's surface is shrouded by a very thick atmosphere of clouds, which is why this true-color image of Venus looks like a featureless grey sphere. The photo was taken by the NASA's Messenger spacecraft on its way to a fly-by of Mercury in January 2008.

Surface of Venus in true color
One of the first color images of the surface of Venus, taken by the USSR's Venera 13 probe on March 13, 1982, and preserved by the NASA National Space Science Data Center. The probe also analyzed soil samples using on-board equipment, and attempted to measure the compressibility of the soil with an impact probe.

False-color radar map
This false-color image is a composite of images taken by the Magellan spacecraft between 1990 and 1994. It shows the terrain of the planet's surface, with red representing mountains and blue representing valleys. The large yellow and red area in the north is called the Ishtar Terra and features Maxwell Montes, the largest mountain on Venus.

Impact craters on Venus
This image shows some of the hundreds of impact craters scattered evenly across the planet's surface. This is a computer-generated, 3D view created by superimposing Magellan images in topography data, with coloring based on the images taken by Russian Venus probes Venera 13 and 14.

Ultraviolet view of the clouds
The Pioneer Venus Orbiter snapped this photo of the cloudy atmosphere on February 26, 1979, showing the ultraviolet spectrum. The winds at the planet's surface are slow, but in the upper atmosphere, the winds zip around the planet at about 186 mph. And even on the surface, it would be difficult to walk against the wind, because the atmosphere is so dense that the winds exert a significant amount of force against anything in their way.

Two layers of clouds
These images of Venus, taken by the Galileo spacecraft in two different spectrums, show the planet's clouds at two different levels. The bluish image, taken with a violet filter, shows the very top of the haze of sulfuric acid in the upper atmosphere. The smaller red image was taken with an infrared filter and shows cloud patterns several miles below the visible cloud tops.

Global view from Magellan
This is a global view of Venus, with the North Pole at the center of the image. It was created using images taken by the Magellan spacecraft, with gaps filled in using data from the Pioneer Venus Orbiter. While the image uses simulated color, the hues are based on true-color images from the Russian Venera 13 and 14 spacecraft.

Venus and Jupiter
Venus and Jupiter put on quite a show in March 2012, appearing close to each other and very bright in the night sky. Flickr user Brian Neudorff shot this long exposure of the night sky on March 3, 2012.

Venus, Jupiter, and the Moon
This stunning image showing Venus, Jupiter, and the Moon was taken on March 26, 2012, in Santa Cruz de Tenerife in the Canary Islands.

Nighttime light show
Venus is visible throughout much of the world at this time of year, from early evening through the middle of the night. It's usually the brightest object in the sky (other than the Moon, of course). If you're not sure where to find it, just check out one of these online stargazing tools (http://www.tecca.com/columns/stargazing-resources-online/).
