Description: Using an ultraviolet filter of imaging system, the photo has been color-enhanced to simulate Venus's natural color as the human eye would see it. Venus is perpetually blanketed by a thick veil of clouds high in carbon dioxide and its surface temperature approaches 900 degrees fahrenheit. Launched on 11/3/73 atop an Atlas-Centaur rocket, Mariner 10 flew by Venus on 2/5/74.
