Scientific paper
As Venus is the only planet which has a female name, the Working Group on Planetary System Nomenclature of the International Astronomical Union has designated that only female names shall be used for topographic features on Venus. Craters and paterae have the names of famous women as well as female first names, noncrater features have names of mythological characters. The first 80 names appeared on the maps after the Pioneer Venus mission. About 300 more names were added after the Venera 15 and 16 missions. It is noted that a large number of new names will be needed after the Magellan mission, when detailed maps will be produced for nearly the whole surface of Venus. A list is provided of the 376 features of 17 types which are now named.
