I got some more info out of Kevin Baines about these images... http://www.planetary.org/news/2006/0414_Fi...mages_Peel.html Very good explaining. From that URL, I was able to understand better about the different layers of colours around the Venus' South pole. Neither VIRTS (Visible and Infrared Thermal Imaging Spectrometer) and VMC (Venus Monitoring Camera) are able to map the Venus Surface. So Venus Express will not take the same pictures as did the extint Magellan probe, won't it? Rodolfo |
