As the world looks at Mars, an American scientist has produced the best images ever obtained from the surface of a rather different planet - Venus.
The second planet from the Sun is blanketed with a thick layer of cloud.

Computer researcher Don Mitchell used original digital data from two Soviet Venera probes that landed in 1975.

His reprocessed and recalibrated images provide a much clearer view of the Venusian surface which is hotter even than the inside of a household oven. Between 1975 and 1981 Soviet probes landed on Venus 10 times.
