About Magellan Highlights Venus

Magellan Highlights of Venus

Magellan, the spacecraft sent to map the surface of our sister planet, Venus, has returned an unprecedented amount of data in a successful effort far beyond NASA's original goals. Magellan Project Scientist Steve Saunders and Deputy Project Scientist Ellen Stofan have captured the best of these results in Magellan Highlights of Venus. Informative image captions describe both the features themselves and the methods scientists have used to analyze them, and include discussions of Venusian impact craters, mountains, tessera terrain, coronae, arachnoids, volcanoes, channels, and dunes.

Electronic PictureBooks are HyperCard stacks designed to run on a color Macintosh computer with at least 2.5 megabytes of available RAM,
sufficient hard disk space to contain the Electronic Picturebook, System 7.0, and HyperCard 2.1 or HyperCard Player 2.1.

This Electronic PictureBook is one of a series being produced by the Exploration in Education (ExInEd) program at the Special Studies Office of the Space Telescope Science Institute (ST ScI). The purpose of the ExInEd program is to discover new tools and approaches to relate space science and exploration to basic teaching and learning, and it involves searching for new ways to assemble and distribute the results of research, particularly images.
