Map of Venus

Topographic map of Venus with Latin IAU names – The hemisphere centred on 0° east longitude
    200%

    The two hemispheres of Venus in Lambert azimuthal equal-area projection.

    The names on the map are the Latin IAU names. They are part of the map image, so they cannot be switched off. The pink labels show the landing sites of spacecraft and the year of landing.

    Made at ELTE TTK KAVÜCS (Cosmic Materials Space Research Group, Eötvös Loránd University) in 2002. Supported by the ICA Commission on Planetary Cartography.

    Topographic base map: L. S. Oresina, L. Yu. Baeva, B. V. Krasnopevtseva, K. B. Shingareva, MIIGAiK, Moscow.
