Venus, closest planet to the Earth, is a torrid world of extremes, shrouded from direct view by dense clouds. Atlas of Venus shows all the fascinating detail discovered on the recent Magellan mission as well as data from earlier ones.
Giving the historical background to our perception of the planet, the book clearly explains why Venus has been the goal of so many missions by both Russian and American Space programs. With the latest images from the Magellan mission, this colourful Atlas shows the beautiful landscapes of Venus and its dynamic volcanism. Over 100 maps and illustrations show the dramatic beauty of this mysterious but very photogenic planet.
Complete with detailed maps and a gazetteer of all landmarks this is the essential reference source for all professional and amateur astronomers and planetary scientists interested in our closest neighbour.
