COSMIC MESSAGE

The surface of Venus is hidden by a thick atmosphere of carbon dioxide, but radar can pierce through it. The Arecibo Telescope in Puerto Rico and the Green Bank Telescope in West Virginia are collaborating to create a new radar map. This powerful radar survey will resolve details on Venus's obscured surface.
