NASA has confirmed that its Parker Solar Probe managed to capture the first visible light images of Venus' surface from space after the spacecraft flew past the planet in 2020 and 2021.

This image used Magellan's radar to stitch together a global mosaic. NASA filled in missing data with information from the Pioneer Venus Orbiter.The colors were selected based on those captured by ...

NASA's Parker Solar Probe has captured its first visible light images of the surface of Venus. Using its Wide-Field Imager (WISPR) instrument, Parker imaged the entire nightside in wavelengths of ...

New images of Venus are a first for NASA. What’s most remarkable about the images is that this is the first time we’ve seen the surface from space without the use of radar beams.

New NASA Image Shows Venus Glowing Like an ‘Iron Pulled From a Forge’ Parker is designed to study the Sun, but the plucky probe is unexpectedly teaching us new things about Venus.

When scientists recently took a closer look at archival images taken of the surface of Venus by the NASA Magellan spacecraft, they discovered something new: evidence of volcanic activity on Earth ...

NASA’s Parker Solar Probe captures the first visible light images of Venus’ surface from space. That’s a real feat considering that the probe is primarily only using Venus for gravity assist ...

Images taken of Venus’ “night side,” or the side facing away from the sun, offer a never-before-seen look at Earth’s neighbor. IE 11 is not supported. For an optimal experience visit our ...

NASA's Magellan probe used radar beams to create a photo-quality map of Venus' cloud-shrouded surface in 1991. While the images were taken at a much lower resolution, Herrick worked with NASA's ...
