Venus. October 29, 1991 - The northern hemisphere is displayed in this
October 29, 1991 - The northern hemisphere is displayed in this global view of the surface of Venus. The north pole is at the center of the image, with 0 degrees, 90 degrees, 180 degrees, 270 degrees east longitudes at the 6, 3, 12, and 9 o clock positions, respectively, of an imaginary clock face. Magellan synthetic aperture radar mosaics from the three eight-month cycles of Magellan radar mapping are mapped onto a computer-simulated globe to create this image. Magellan obtained coverage of 98 percent of the surface of Venus. Remaining gaps are filled with data from previous missions, (the Soviet Venera 15 and 16 radar and Pioneer Venus Orbiter altimetry) and data from Earth-based radar observations from the Arecibo radio telescope. Simulated color is used to enhance small-scale structures. The simulated hues are based on color images recorded by the Venera 13 and 14 landing craft. Maxwell Montes, the planets highest mountain at 11 kilometers (6.6 miles) above the average elevation, is the bright feature in the lower center of the image. Other terrain types visible in this image include tessera, ridge belts, lava flows, impact craters and coronae

EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the mesmerizing beauty of Venus, our neighboring planet in the solar system. Taken on October 29,1991, this global view showcases the northern hemisphere of Venus with intricate detail. The image is centered around the north pole and features east longitudes at key positions resembling a clock face. To create this breathtaking visual representation, Magellan synthetic aperture radar mosaics were utilized from three eight-month cycles of radar mapping conducted by the Magellan spacecraft. With an impressive coverage of 98 percent of Venus' surface, any remaining gaps were filled using data from previous missions like Soviet Venera 15 and 16 radar as well as Pioneer Venus Orbiter altimetry. Earth-based radar observations from Arecibo radio telescope also contributed to completing this comprehensive image. The use of simulated color enhances small-scale structures visible on Venus' surface. These hues are based on color images recorded by Venera 13 and 14 landing craft during their exploration missions. Notably standing out in this photograph is Maxwell Montes, reaching a staggering height of approximately 11 kilometers (6.6 miles) above average elevation – making it the highest mountain on Venus. In addition to Maxwell Montes, various other terrain types can be observed in this image such as tesserae (highly deformed crustal blocks), ridge belts, lava flows, impact craters, and coronae (large circular features associated with volcanic activity). This extraordinary print serves as a testament to humanity's continuous quest for knowledge about our celestial neighbors.
