English: "Venus looks bland in nearly all the visible wavelengths—but other wavelengths reveal myriad details. From left to right: dayside false color image from Akatsuki’s UVI instrument (PLANET-C Project); dayside false color image from Akatsuki’s UVI and IR1 instruments (PLANET-C Project); composite of dayside imagery from MESSENGER that shows natural color (NASA/JHUAPL/CIW/ Gordon Ugarkovic); nightside image from PSP centered on Ovda Regio (Wood et al. 2022); nightside image of the same area from Akatsuki’s IR1 instrument, but rotated (PLANET-C Project); nightside synthesized false color image from Akatsuki’s IR2 instrument (PLANET-C Project); stack of five pseudo-color infrared images from Akatsuki’s LIR instrument (PLANET-C Project); microwave observations from the Very Large Array (Butler et al. 2001); and a surface 3D model derived from Magellan radar imagery (NASA Visualization Technology Applications and Development). Images at shorter wavelengths are made using sunlight reflected from the dayside of Venus. Longer-wavelength images record thermal emission from the surface and/or atmosphere. Finally, the radar images show the power of active sounding to reveal surface features"[1]
