VENUS' COUPLED DYNAMICS AND SULFUR CHEMISTRY FROM AKATSUKI, JULY 23, 2016

A false-color image using two ultraviolet channels from Akatsuki's UVI camera. Venus' cloud dynamics are just as complex as Earth's.

Note : Akatsuki is a Japanese mission launched in 2010 to orbit Venus (which it failed the first time) but successfully entered Venus' orbit on December the 7th, 2015.

EQUATORIAL REGION OF VENUS FROM AKATSUKI

Images acquired during orbit number 13 of the Japanese probe Akatsuki show an incredible amount of detail on the equatorial, tropical, and extra-tropical clouds of the planet
