如果你能站在金星上,你會看到什麼? 圖為 1982 年 3 月從 Venera 14 號機器人著陸器上看到的景象,該著陸器以空降和氣壓方式穿過厚厚的金星大氣層。它看到的荒涼景象包括平坦的岩石、廣袤空曠的地形,以及金星赤道附近菲比區上空毫無特色的天空。左下方是太空飛行器用於科學測量的穿透計,右邊的光片是彈出的鏡頭蓋的一部分。 堅硬的 Venera 太空飛行器承受了接近 450 攝氏度的高溫和地球上 75 倍的壓力,但只堅持了大約一個小時。儘管維納拉 14 號的資料早在 40 多年前就被傳送到了太陽系內部,但對維納拉不同尋常的影像進行數字處理和合並的工作至今仍在繼續。 最近,歐空局的金星快車軌道飛船對紅外測量資料進行的分析表明,金星上目前可能存在活火山。 拼圖樂趣每日天文拼圖
原文:If you could stand on Venus -- what would you see? Pictured is the view from Venera 14, a robotic Soviet lander which parachuted and air-braked down through the thick Venusian atmosphere in March of 1982. The desolate landscape it saw included flat rocks, vast empty terrain, and a featureless sky above Phoebe Regio near Venus' equator. On the lower left is the spacecraft's penetrometer used to make scientific measurements, while the light piece on the right is part of an ejected lens-cap. Enduring temperatures near 450 degrees Celsius and pressures 75 times that on Earth, the hardened Venera spacecraft lasted only about an hour. Although data from Venera 14 was beamed across the inner Solar System over 40 years ago, digital processing and merging of Venera's unusual images continues even today. Recent analyses of infrared measurements taken by ESA's orbiting Venus Express spacecraft indicate that active volcanoes may currently exist on Venus. Jigsaw Fun: Astronomy Puzzle of the Day
