Summary
[edit]| Description |
English: This global view of the surface of Venus is centered at 180 degrees east longitude. Magellan synthetic aperture radar mosaics from the first cycle of Magellan mapping are mapped onto a computer-simulated globe to create this image. Data gaps are filled with Pioneer Venus Orbiter data, or a constant mid-range value. Simulated color is used to enhance small-scale structure. The simulated hues are based on color images recorded by the Soviet Venera 13 and 14 spacecraft. The image was produced by the Solar System Visualization project and the Magellan science team at the JPL Multimission Image Processing Laboratory and is a single frame from a video released at the October 29, 1991, JPL news conference. It is important to note that Venus is completely shrouded in clouds. A bright elongated region in the center is Aphrodite Terra.
Français : Vue globale de la surface de Vénus centrée sur 180° est de longitude. Cette vue est une mosaïque des images radar obtenues par la sonde spatiale Magellan lors de son premier cycle de cartographie. Les vides sont comblés par des images obtenues par la sonde Pioneer Venus orbiter. Les couleurs de la surfaces sont calculées à partir des données obtenues à la surface de Vénus par les atterrisseurs Venera 13 et 14. Cette image ne pourrait pas être vue par un observateur survolant Vénus, car la planète est constamment recouverte de nuages. La compilation des données en une image unique a été réalisée par le Solar System Visualization project et l'équipe scientifique du projet Magellan. |
