Venus' surface

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.

火星

Caption: 这张由美国宇航局火星勘测轨道飞行器于 1999 年拍摄的火星图像显示了火星干燥的表面。这张照片展示了火星上最壮观的地质区域。除了深邃的马林里斯谷之外,我们还看到了四座火山。其中三座形成了塔西斯山脊,而奥林帕斯火山则是我们迄今为止在太阳系中发现的最大的火山。冰云覆盖了火星表面的部分区域。
