It is high time that we re-visited that most productive Venus mission ever - Magellan. I would hope that we could try to present the Radar Imaging data in a more user-friendly manner. There are a few good sources on the Internet, but much high-resolution material is either in CD-ROMs or selectively printed in books or articles. I have a handful of regional 1:1.5 million regional mosaics from Magellan, in high-quality glossy. Scanning these would be a challenge. To start us off, here is the link to the best (in my opinion) source of regional Venus views available on the Internet. http://planetarynames.wr.usgs.gov/vgrid.html On this site, you can click on any Quadrangle, from V-1 to V-62, with the option for zoom. For you that thought that you knew Venus, I urge you to explore this site for a chunk of time and be amazed by the varied Geology of Venus. It begs to be explored in more detail. Another Phil |
