Scientific paper

The revelation of the surface of Venus by the Magellan synthetic radar is discussed. The highlights of the discoveries are shown and described, including the long strips called 'noodles', the complex geological formation called the Phoebe region, the mountainous Lakshmi region which contains evidence of plate tectonics, and the Themis Regio highland region, which may have formed by processes analogous to those which made the Hawaiian islands. Mysterious phenomena, like the apparent youth of many of the craters, are addressed.
