Surface of Venus. 3D computer-generated composite radar image showing three impact craters in Lavinia Planitia on the surface of Venus. These are Howe (lower centre), Danilova (upper left) and Aglaonic (upper right). Image composed of synthetic aperture radar data obtained by the Magellan spacecraft, combined with radar altimetry and ray tracing to simulate a perspective view.
