## Venus

Venus, our inner neighbor planet is veiled by a thick, permanent cloudcover. Most of what is known about its surface stems from radar observations, mainly images sent by the Magellan probe between August 16, 1990 and the end of its sixth orbital cycle in September 1994. The surface of Venus is covered by a dense atmosphere and presents clear evidence of former violent volcanic activity.
