Amateur dowload image

Description:Professionals have imaged Venus's surface from the ground in infrared light, but not for extended periods of time. David Shiga June 3, Near-infrared exposures were combined to reveal the first-ever amateur image of the surface of Venus. The long exposures drastically overexpose the sunlit part of Venus, making it look much larger than its actual thin crescent. Pellier's feat is a first not only for amateur astronomy, but for astronomy in general. Please be civil in your comments. See also the Terms of Use and Privacy Policy.
