Some new images of Venus - the increasing diameter makes more things visible !
This is the first time that the "banding" in near IR is that clear. The same pattern is imaged in red light but less contrasted.
I have made a false color RGU image where B=UV. It shows the same details that the true RGB,but with more saturated colors.
