Venus - Galileo

Four enhanced color images of Venus from 2.3 to 3.3 million km

Venus
Four enhanced color views of Venus taken by the Galileo spacecraft at distances ranging from 2.3 to 3.3 million km. The top two images were taken 4 and 5 days after closest approach, and the bottom two 6 days after closest approach, 2 hours apart. False color and high-pass filters are used to bring out details of the cloud features, including the near-equatorial winds and the polar hoods. Venus is 12,100 km in diameter and north is up.
