Venus UnVeiled
The Magellan spacecraft used radar to penetrate Venus's thick, cloud-covered atmosphere and reveal its surface. This image shows a bright area, likely a large lava flow, across the middle. Magellan's mission from 1990 to 1994 provided the first detailed maps of Venus. These maps are crucial for understanding the planet's geology, which is otherwise hidden from view.
