VENUS’ SURFACE got that MOLTEN SURFACE, looks like MOLTEN CORE. WOW Reference FTL.

Hey man. So what if I was running around a mere eight (Jesus Christ what am I doing with my life?) years ago in Molten Core? It is the first thing I thought of when I glimpsed this beautiful reconstruction of Venus’ surface. Not a world of the Worlds? The Wars? The Crafting? Then drown me out as usual, and check out the real deets after the jump.

NASA:

If you could look across Venus with radar eyes, what might you see? This computer reconstruction of the surface of Venus was created from data from the Magellan spacecraft.   Magellan orbited Venus and used radar to map our neighboring planet‘s surface between 1990 and 1994.Magellan found many interesting surface features, including the large circular domes, typically 25-kilometers across, that are depicted above.   Volcanism is thought to have created the domes, although the precise mechanism remains unknown. Venus‘ surface is so hot and hostile that no surface probe has lasted more than a few minutes.
