Image:Venus-pioneer-uv-thumb.jpg
Ultraviolet image of Venus's clouds as seen by the Pioneer Venus Orbiter (February 26, 1979). The immense C- or Y-shaped features which are visible only in this wavelength are individually short lived, but reform often enough to be considered a permanent feature of Venus's clouds. The mechanism by which Venus's clouds absorb ultraviolet is not well understood.
