More Pictures of Venus NOTE::: For More information, statistics and an in-depth look at Venus and its workings, go to our Venus Overview page. (Some images can be clicked on for bigger versions) Venus against a starry background This impressive picture shows many of Venus's craters in great detail. This rather incredible perspective image was generated by computer from Magellan data, and color-coded with emissivity. It shows the boundary between the lowland plains and highland terrain in Ovda Regio. Canyons such as the one visible across this picture are fairly common on Venus, in areas where the tectonic belts cross the highlands. Blue = low emissivity whereas red = high emissivity. The image shows an area of size 1125 x 1125km.

The image is colour-coded to represent elevation This is an ultra-violet image of Venus taken by the Hubble Space Telescope in 1995 All Pictures Courtesy of NASA/Jpl
