12 Dec 1986 | | Journal: | Science, 234 (4782), 1379-1383 | | Abstract: | Multispectral images of the basaltic surface of Venus obtained by Venera 13 were processed to remove the effects of orange-colored incident radiation resulting from interactions with the thick Venusian atmosphere. At visible wavelengths the surface of Venus appears dark and without significant color. High-temperature laboratory reflectance spectra of basaltic materials indicate that these results are consistent with mineral assemblages bearing either ferric or ferrous iron. A high reflectance in the near-infrared region observed at neighboring Venera 9 and 10 sites, however, suggests that the basaltic surface material contains ferric minerals and thus may be relatively oxidized. | | Source: | PubMed, pmid17755059 doi: 10.1126/science.234.4782.1379 | | Services: | Forum | Review | Favorites | |
