Download File ( image 1.68 MB)

Image caption: This image is a computer-aided rendering of the surface of the planet Venus. Since visual light cannot penetrate the thick clouds in Venus' atmosphere, the image was obtained with radio waves. NASA's space probe Megallan, launched in 1989 mapped Venus' surface between 1990 and 1994.

Image caption: Cette image est un rendu assisté par ordinateur de la surface de la planète Vénus. La lumière visuelle ne pouvant pénétrer les épais nuages de l'atmosphère de Vénus, l'image a été obtenue à l'aide d'ondes radio. La sonde spatiale Megallan de la NASA, lancée en 1989, a cartographié la surface de Vénus entre 1990 et 1994.

Image caption: Questa immagine è una ricostruzione computerizzata della superficie del pianeta Venere. Poiché la luce visibile non può attraversare le spesse nubi dell'atmosfera di Venere, l'immagine è stata ottenuta con le onde radio. La sonda spaziale Magellano della NASA, lanciata nel 1989, ha mappato la superficie di Venere tra il 1990 e il 1994.
