However, of course it is difficult to get an image of Venus Warning Signs “The images we have depict a very dangerous and strange planet,” he explained. Although Venus is very similar to Earth in size, composition and density, this second rock from the Sun is far from safe or habitable for human life.
The surface of Venus is shrouded in an atmosphere of toxic gases and acid clouds. The average temperature on the surface of Venus is about 867 °F (464 °C), and the planet’s atmospheric pressure is approximately 100 times greater than the atmospheric pressure on Earth.
Venera 7 is the first spacecraft to successfully make a soft landing on another planet.
Without protection, humans wouldn’t last more than a few seconds on this planet without exploding or burning up. Thanks to Venus’ thick and toxic atmosphere, the greenhouse effect has taken over, creating a very inhospitable place that is also difficult for humans to explore.

Over the years, there were only a few images dropped from Venus, and the last time the Soviet Union took such images was between 1961 and 1984. The Soviets ran a space program called Venera whose main goal was to explore the planet’s surface. Venus.
This program was considered successful after sending 16 different probes to the mysterious planet and landing eight of the 16 probes on the surface of Venus. Venera was the first program to successfully enter the atmosphere of another planet in 1966, and in 1970, Venera 7 was the first space probe to successfully make a soft landing on another planet.
Of the eight probes that successfully landed on the surface of Venus, Venera 12 survived the longest before being destroyed by the planet’s hostile conditions. Venera 12 lasted about two hours before also crashing.
On this day in 1982, the Venera 14 spacecraft photographed the surface of Venus. This will be the last time for now. Although Vegas 1 and 2 would send landers and balloons to Venus in 1985, they would not photograph the surface. Since then, there has been no relegation. pic.twitter.com/7rnac0Z7Qi

Although Venus is very similar to Earth in size, composition and density, this second rock from the Sun is far from safe or habitable for human life.
Venera 9, 10, 13 and 14 were able to take panoramic images of Venus while on the planet’s surface. Venera 13 and 14 were also able to capture sound while exploring the mysterious ball. The video and audio on this planet is certainly on par with what you might see in a science fiction film.
The first images of Venus were taken in 1975, and the resulting images were subpar compared to today’s images. However, it is easy to see that the surface is very rocky and desolate. In 1982, Venera 13 took some of the highest quality images of Venus’ surface, even showing the eerie yellow color that blankets the planet.

Venus gets its golden color from sunlight filtered through the toxic clouds that cover the planet’s surface. When Brown University performed image enhancement and additional processing on old footage collected by the Venera probe, it was revealed that the rocks and soil that make up Venus’ surface had a dark gray color.
Venera 12 lasted about two hours before also crashing.
The dark gray rocks on Venus’ surface are likely volcanic rocks, as the planet is full of volcanoes. You can see the planet’s volcanic horizon quite clearly when you watch footage taken by Russians more than 50 years ago. It is likely that some of the volcanoes on the planet’s surface are also still active.
Despite its hostile environment, studying Earth’s closest neighbors is beneficial to scientists today. Some basic information about planetary evolution can be obtained by studying changes seen on nearby planets such as Venus.
