False-colour perspective view of Gula Mons, Venus

False-colour perspective view of Gula Mons, Venus. This image was constructed using plan-view data gathered by the Magellan radar-mapping spacecraft, and was enhanced and coloured by a computer using Magellan radar altimetry and previously-gathered photographic information. Gula Mons is a 3km high volcanic feature in the northern hemisphere Eistla Region of Venus. This view is looking north-east from a viewpoint 110km south-west of Gula Mons at the same elevation as the summit. The side of the volcano and the terrain surface for hundreds of kilometres around are characterised by massive radar-bright lava flows

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a false-colour perspective view of Gula Mons, a remarkable volcanic feature on the planet Venus. Constructed using plan-view data collected by the Magellan radar-mapping spacecraft, this image has been further enhanced and coloured by a computer utilizing Magellan radar altimetry and previously-gathered photographic information. Located in the northern hemisphere Eistla Region of Venus, Gula Mons stands tall at an impressive height of 3 kilometers. The viewpoint for this particular image is positioned 110 kilometers southwest of Gula Mons, offering us a breathtaking north-eastern glimpse from the same elevation as its summit. What truly sets this photograph apart is its portrayal of the volcano's side and the surrounding terrain surface that spans hundreds of kilometers. These areas are characterized by massive radar-bright lava flows, creating an otherworldly landscape that sparks curiosity about our neighboring planet. As we delve into planetary exploration and cosmology, images like these provide invaluable insights into celestial bodies beyond our own. This false-colour perspective view not only highlights the scientific advancements made through missions like Magellan but also serves as a testament to human ingenuity in unraveling mysteries millions of miles away.
