Sky & Telescope's 12" Venus Globe Designed with NASA Magellan Mission Imaging
Sky & Telescope's updated 12" scale model of Venus relied on a mosaic of images from the Magellan mission to Venus (1990-1994). Magellan mapped more than 98% of Venus at a resolution of about 100 meters (330 feet); the effective resolution of this globe is 5 kilometers. Other data used for the globe came from the Pioneer Venus mission, the Soviet Venera 15 and 16 spacecraft, and radar images ...from Arecibo Observatory. Altogether this globe offers a beneath-the-clouds glimpse of our sister planet in unprecedented detail. Sky & Telescope produced the globe in collaboration with NASA and the U.S. Geological Survey.
