Isabella (crater) Crater Isabella is the second largest impact crater on Venus. The feature is named in honor of the 15th Century queen of Spain, Isabella I of Castile. Located at 30 degrees south latitude, 204 degrees east longitude, the crater has two extensive flow-like structures extending to the south and to the s... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=16798987 |
Stefania (crater) Stefania is a crater on Venus in the northern Sedna Planitia. With a diameter of it is one of the smaller craters on Venus . Because many small meteoroids disintegrate during their passage through the dense atmosphere, there is an absence of craters smaller than in diameter, and even craters smaller t... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=16799131 |
Sachs Patera is a feature on Venus. Defined as a sag-caldera, Sachs is an elliptical depression 130 meters (81 feet) in depth, spanning in width along its longest axis. The morphology implies that a chamber of molten material drained and collapsed, forming a depression surrounded by concentric scarps spaced apart. The ... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=16799934 |
Jeanne (crater) Jeanne is an impact crater on Venus. The distinctive triangular shape of the ejecta indicates that the impacting body probably hit obliquely, traveling from southwest to northeast. The crater is surrounded by dark material of two types. The dark area on the southwest side of the crater is covered by smo... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=16800030 |
Sacajawea Patera is a large, elongate caldera located in Western Ishtar Terra on the smooth plateau of Lakshmi Planum, on the planet Venus. The image is centred at 64.5 degrees North latitude and 337 degrees East longitude. It is approximately wide at the base. Sacajawea is a depression approximately 1–2 kilometres (0.... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=16800117 |
Sacajawea Patera Diffuse patches of dark material approximately in width are observed southwest of the patera, superposed on portions of the surrounding graben. The formation of Sacajawea is thought to be related to the drainage and collapse of a large magma chamber. Gravitational relaxation may have caused the resulta... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=16800117 |
Buck (crater) Buck is a crater in the Navka region of Venus. It has the terraced walls, flat radar-dark floor, and central peak that are characteristic of craters classified as "complex". The central peak on its floor is unusually large. Flow-like deposits extend beyond the limits of the coarser rim deposits on its wes... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=16800222 |
Fotla Corona is a diameter feature on Nsomeka Planitia, Venus. presents a variety of tectonic structures, including three farra of decreasing size from north to south (the largest in the north has a diameter of about 35 km) aligned along a line that intersects the corona in its part West. A rather complex fracture netw... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=16804874 |
Aurelia (crater) Aurelia is a crater on Venus. It has a large dark surface up range from the crater; lobate flows emanating from crater ejecta, and very radar-bright ejecta and floor. The crater takes its name from Aurelia. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=16804983 |
Siddons Patera is a volcanic caldera on Venus surrounded by collapsed lava tubes. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=16805039 |
Akna Montes are a mountain range on Venus centered at 68.9°N, 318.2°E and stretching 830 km long. The Akna range is a north-south trending ridge belt that forms the western border of the elevated smooth plateau of Lakshmi Planum. The Lakshmi plateau plains are formed by extensive volcanic eruptions and are bounded by m... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=16805206 |
Wanda (crater) Wanda is a crater in the Akna Montes on Venus first mapped first by the Soviet Venera 15/16 mission in 1984. It was formed by the impact of an asteroid. The crater has a rugged central peak and a smooth radar-dark floor, probably volcanic material. The crater does not appear to be much deformed by later ... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=16805235 |
Riley (crater) Riley is a crater on Venus. The crater is in diameter. The floor of the crater is 580 metres (1,914 feet) below the plains surrounding the crater. The crater's rim rises 620 metres (2,046 feet) above the plains and 1,200 metres (3,960 feet) above the crater floor. The crater's central peak is 536 metres ... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=16805281 |
