I'm looking for earth based radar mapping of Venus.
I've had a hard time finding much. I clearly remember seeing images in books as a child. Any help would be great! |

I once heard a theory that a violent impact hit Venus against it's natural spin causing it to rotate the opposite way.
What ever it was it must have been a big bugger. |

Shame it didn't end up with a lovely (and life-on-Earth-supporting?) Moon like ours. Andy I dunno - War of the Worlds could have happened coming from the other direction. Or in a parallel universe, it is the inhabitants of Venus who wonder what might have been if only Earth weren't a barren wasteland. -------------------- "After having some business dealings with men, I am occasionally chagrined,
and feel as if I had done some wrong, and it is hard to forget the ugly circumstance. I see that such intercourse long continued would make one thoroughly prosaic, hard, and coarse. But the longest intercourse with Nature, though in her rudest moods, does not thus harden and make coarse. A hard, sensible man whom we liken to a rock is indeed much harder than a rock. From hard, coarse, insensible men with whom I have no sympathy, I go to commune with the rocks, whose hearts are comparatively soft." - Henry David Thoreau, November 15, 1853 |
