Jan 16, 2018 · Venus' nightside glow This image shows the night side of Venus in thermal infrared. It is a false-colour image using data from Akatsuki's IR2 camera in two wavelengths, 1.74 and 2.26 microns. Darker regions denote thicker clouds, but changes in color can also denote differences in cloud particle size or composition from place to place.
Composite view of Venus from Akatsuki. Composite view of Venus from Akatsuki Composite view consisting of two images taken at two different distances, allowing amateur image processor Damia Bouic to fill some gaps to create this detailed view of Venus. Taken using the UV1 filter, many details are revealed, especially in terms of convective ...
Feb 1, 2018 · Akatsuki's IR2 camera acquired this view of the night side of Venus. Infrared energy from hot, mid-altitude clouds shows up bright, while higher clouds that block the heat appear dark. The dark sawtooth at center appears to be a turbulent boundary. The planet's sunlit crescent is overexposed at upper right. JAXA / ISAS / DARTS / Damia Bouic.
Composite and colored renditions of images captured by the ultraviolet imager (UVI) loaded on AKATSUKI. UVI is a camera that uses ultraviolet rays to capture such factors as sulfur dioxide. In March 2019, an animation that continuously captures the atmospheric flow on Venus was made publicly available through the official site for AKATSUKI.

Dec 9, 2015 · Akatsuki's first UVI image of Venus after orbit insertion Akatsuki's ultraviolet imager (UVI) sees shorter-wavelength ultraviolet than any other previous Venus imager, at 283 nanometers. Akatsuki took this photo about 5 hours after orbit insertion (December 7, 2015, at 05:19 UT) from a distance of 72,000 kilometers. Image: JAXA.
May 21, 2010 · In Depth. The Venus Climate Orbiter mission (PLANET-C), or "AKATSUKI", is studying the atmospheric circulation of Venus. Meteorological information will be obtained by globally mapping clouds and minor constituents successively with four cameras at ultraviolet and infrared wavelengths, detecting lightning with a high-speed imager, and observing ...
