  • The Magellan Spacecraft at Venus by Andrew Fraknoi, Astronomical Society of the Pacific
    www.astrosociety.org/uitc No. 18 - Fall 1991 © 1991, Astronomical Society of the Pacific, 390 Ashton Avenue, San Francisco, CA 94112. The Magellan Spacecraft at Venus by Andrew Fraknoi, Astronomical Society of the Pacific "Having finally penetrated below the clouds of Venus, we find its surface to be naked [not hidden], revealing the history of hundreds of millions of years of geological activity. Venus is a geologist's dream planet.'' —Astronomer David Morrison This fall, the brightest star-like object you can see in the eastern skies before dawn isn't a star at all — it's Venus, the second closest planet to the Sun. Because Venus is so similar in diameter and mass to our world, and also has a gaseous atmosphere, it has been called the Earth's "sister planet''. Many years ago, scientists expected its surface, which is perpetually hidden beneath a thick cloud layer, to look like Earth's as well. Earlier this century, some people even imagined that Venus was a hot, humid, swampy world populated by prehistoric creatures! But we now know Venus is very, very different. New radar images of Venus, just returned from NASA's Magellan spacecraft orbiting the planet, have provided astronomers the clearest view ever of its surface, revealing unique geological features, meteor impact craters, and evidence of volcanic eruptions different from any others found in the solar system. This issue of The Universe in the Classroom is devoted to what Magellan is teaching us today about our nearest neighbor, Venus. Where is Venus, and what is it like? Spacecraft exploration of Venus's surface Magellan — a "recycled'' spacecraft How does Magellan take pictures through the clouds? What has Magellan revealed about Venus? How does Venus' surface compare with Earth's? What is the next step in Magellan's mission? If Venus is such an uninviting place, why are we interested in it? Reading List Why is it so hot on Venus? Where is Venus, and what is it like? Venus orbits the Sun in a nearly circular path between Mercury and the Earth, about 3/4 as far from our star as the Earth is.

  • Vénus Les Transits De Vénus L’Exploration De Vénus Par Les Sondes Iconographie, Photos Et Additifs
    VVÉÉNUSNUS Introduction - Généralités Les caractéristiques de Vénus Les transits de Vénus L’exploration de Vénus par les sondes Iconographie, photos et additifs GAP 47 • Olivier Sabbagh • Février 2015 Vénus I Introduction – Généralités Vénus est la deuxième des huit planètes du Système solaire en partant du Soleil, et la sixième par masse ou par taille décroissantes. La planète Vénus a été baptisée du nom de la déesse Vénus de la mythologie romaine. Symbolisme La planète Vénus doit son nom à la déesse de l'amour et de la beauté dans la mythologie romaine, Vénus, qui a pour équivalent Aphrodite dans la mythologie grecque. Cythère étant une épiclèse homérique d'Aphrodite, l'adjectif « cythérien » ou « cythéréen » est parfois utilisé en astronomie (notamment dans astéroïde cythérocroiseur) ou en science-fiction (les Cythériens, une race de Star Trek). Par extension, on parle d'un Vénus à propos d'une très belle femme; de manière générale, il existe en français un lexique très développé mêlant Vénus au thème de l'amour ou du plaisir charnel. L'adjectif « vénusien » a remplacé « vénérien » qui a une connotation moderne péjorative, d'origine médicale. Les cultures chinoise, coréenne, japonaise et vietnamienne désignent Vénus sous le nom d'« étoile d'or », et utilisent les mêmes caractères (jīnxīng en hanyu, pinyin en hiragana, kinsei en romaji, geumseong en hangeul), selon la « théorie » des cinq éléments. Vénus était connue des civilisations mésoaméricaines; elle occupait une place importante dans leur conception du cosmos et du temps. Les Nahuas l'assimilaient au dieu Quetzalcoatl, et, plus précisément, à Tlahuizcalpantecuhtli (« étoile du matin »), dans sa phase ascendante et à Xolotl (« étoile du soir »), dans sa phase descendante.

  • The Spreading of Variable-Viscosity Axisymmetric Radial Gravity Currents : Applications to the Emplacement of Venusian ‘Pancake ’ Domes
    J. Fluid Mech. (1995), vol. 301, pp. 65-77 65 Copyright 0 1995 Cambridge University Press The spreading of variable-viscosity axisymmetric radial gravity currents : applications to the emplacement of Venusian ‘pancake ’ domes By S. E. H. SAKIMOTOt AND M. T. ZUBER Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences, The Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, MD 21218, USA (Received 26 March 1994 and in revised form 4 May 1995) The Magellan images of Venus have revealed a number of intriguing volcanic features, including the steep-sided or ‘pancake’ domes. These volcanic domes or flows have morphologies that suggest formation by a single continuous emplacement of lava with a higher viscosity than that of the surrounding basaltic plains. Numerous investigators have suggested that such high viscosity is due to high silica content, leading to the conclusion that the domes are evidence of evolved magmatic products on Venus. However, viscosity depends on crystallinity as well as on silica content : high viscosity could therefore also be due to a cooler (and therefore higher crystal content) lava. Models of dome emplacement which include both cooling and composition factors are thus necessary in order to determine the ranges of crystallinity and silica content which might lead to the observed gross dome morphologies. Accordingly, in this study domes are modelled as radial viscous gravity currents with an assumed cooling-induced viscosity increase to include both effects. Analytical and numerical results indicate that pancake dome formation is feasible with compositions ranging from basaltic to rhyolitic. Therefore, observations of gross dome morphology alone are insufficient for determining composition and the domes do not necessarily represent strong evidence for evolved magmatism on Venus.

  • Surface Processes in the Venus Highlands: Results from Analysis of Magellan and a Recibo Data
    JOURNAL OF GEOPHYSICAL RESEARCH, VOL. 104, NO. E], PAGES 1897-1916, JANUARY 25, 1999 Surface processes in the Venus highlands: Results from analysis of Magellan and A recibo data Bruce A. Campbell Center for Earth and Planetary Studies, Smithsonian Institution, Washington, D.C. Donald B. Campbell National Astronomy and Ionosphere Ceiitei-, Cornell University, Ithaca, New York Christopher H. DeVries Department of Physics and Astronomy, University of Massachusetts, Amherst Abstract. The highlands of Venus are characterized by an altitude-dependent change in radar backscattcr and microwave emissivity, likely produced by surface-atmosphere weathering re- actions. We analyzed Magellan and Arecibo data for these regions to study the roughness of the surface, lower radar-backscatter areas at the highest elevations, and possible causes for areas of anomalous behavior in Maxwell Montes. Arecibo data show that circular and linear radar polarization ratios rise with decreasing emissivity and increasing Fresnel reflectivity, supporting the hypothesis that surface scattering dominates the return from the highlands. The maximum values of these polarization ratios are consistent with a significant component of multiple-bounce scattering. We calibrated the Arecibo backscatter values using areas of overlap with Magellan coverage, and found that the echo at high incidence angles (up to 70") from the highlands is lower than expected for a predominantly diffuse scattering regime. This behavior may be due to geometric effects in multiple scattering from surface rocks, but fur- ther modeling is required. Areas of lower radar backscatter above an upper critical elevation are found to be generally consistent across the equatorial highlands, with the shift in micro- wave properties occurring over as little as 5ÜÜ m of elevation.
