The very first visible-light images of Venus' surface from space have been captured by NASA's Parker Solar Probe, and it could help researchers piece together the mysteries of the distant planet.
The global surface of Venus was first mapped by the Magellan orbiter during 1990–1991 with 50 km spatial and 100 m vertical resolution. During three orbit regimes, the surface images were transmitted back to the Earth. These three orbiting motions of the spacecraft are called mapping cycle 1, 2 and 3.
A NASA spacecraft has captured never-before-seen images of Venus, providing stunning views of the hellishly hot surface of the second rock from the sun.
English: The measurement bands used for the Venus Emissivity Mapper to take advantage of the gaps in the CO₂ atmosphere of Venus. The additional, non-surface bands, are used to compensate for atmospheric effects, clouds, and stray-light. The black light is a measured night-side spectrum of Venus.
The surface of Venus spends 58.3 days in darkness before the sun rises again behind the clouds. [1] ... Infrared image of the night-side of Venus, showing different ...

Color-coded elevation map, showing the elevated terrae "continents" in yellow and minor features of Venus. The Venusian surface was a subject of speculation until some of its secrets were revealed by probes in the 20th century. Venera landers in 1975 and 1982 returned images of a surface covered in sediment and relatively angular rocks. [36]
Venus is the second planet in orbit and the sixth largest planet. It's often referred to as "Earth's twin" because it's similar in size and structure to our planet, but Venus has extreme surface ...
