Insights from Radar Mapping of Venus

The video explores Venus, a planet shrouded in clouds, whose surface was revealed by the Magellan probe using radar mapping. The surface shows few impact craters, indicating a young, volcanic terrain with features like coronae. Despite its dense atmosphere and high temperatures, which prevent erosion, radar mapping has provided detailed insights into Venus' geological processes, solving many mysteries about Earth's nearest neighbor.
