The sky on
your birthday.
“The Surface of Venus from Venera 14” is copyrighted by Donald Mitchell. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.
See it on NASA's siteWhat would you see if you stood on Venus? The Soviet Venera 14 lander showed us in March 1982. Its view was a desolate landscape of flat rocks and vast, empty terrain under a featureless sky. The spacecraft's penetrometer, used for scientific measurements, is visible in the lower left. This image offers a rare glimpse of Venus's harsh surface.
