A Venus Landing
This image is part of the first color panoramic view from Venus. It was sent by the Soviet Venera 13 lander, which landed on March 1, 1982. Venus' clouds are made of sulfuric acid droplets, and its surface temperature is about 900 degrees Fahrenheit. Despite these harsh conditions, Venera 13 survived long enough to send back images and perform an analysis.
