This footage of Venus was captured by the Soviet Venera missions, the only spacecraft to successfully land and transmit images from Venus’ surface. Despite its proximity to Earth, Venus remains an extreme world of crushing pressure and intense heat. | SpaceEve

This video combines real radar imagery and surface data from past Venus missions, revealing a world hidden beneath thick clouds and extreme heat. The audio is a sonification of scientific measurements, since sound cannot travel through space, offering an immersive way to experience Earth’s most hostile planetary neighbor.
