Only four spacecraft have ever returned images from Venus’ surface. The world next door doesn’t make it easy, with searing heat and crushing pressure that quickly destroy any lander. In 1975 and 1982, four of the Soviet Union’s Venera probes captured our only images of Venus’ surface.

Very few images have been captured on the surface of Venus, Earth's second-closest neighbor. Why is the planet so hard to photograph?
Three-dimensional perspective views of Venusian Terrains composed of reduced resolution left-looking synthetic-aperture radar images merged with altimetry data from the Magellan spacecraft. Full Resolution: TIFF (225.6 kB) JPEG (63.99 kB) 1998-06-03. Venus. Magellan.
A full analysis of the images and video, published on Feb. 9, 2022, in the journal Geophysical Research Letters, is adding to scientists’ understanding of the planet likened as Earth’s twin. NASA’s Parker Solar Probe has taken its first visible light images of the surface of Venus from space.
Venus, the second closest planet to our sun, is named after the Roman goddess of love and beauty. The cloud-covered world is also one of the brightest natural objects in the night sky.

The surface of Venus is an inferno with temperatures hot enough to melt lead. This image is a composite of data from NASA's Magellan spacecraft and Pioneer Venus Orbiter.
Only four spacecraft have ever returned photographs from the surface of Venus. Our neighbouring planet doesn’t make it easy, below the clouds blistering hea...
The NASA Parker Solar Probe released new images of the surface of the planet Venus taken in visible light from space — a first for space science.
