  Title: Global view of Venus from Magellan, Pioneer, and Venera data
  Description:
  This global view of Venus, centered at 270 degrees east longitude, is a 
  compilation of data from several sources.  Magellan synthetic aperature
  radar  mosaics from the first cycle of Magellan mapping are mapped onto a 
  computer-simulated globe to create the image.  Data gaps are filled with 
  Pioneer-Venus orbiter data, or a constant mid-range value.  Simulated color 
  is used to enhance small-scale structure.  The simulated hues are based on 
  color images recorded by the Soviet Venera 13 and 14 spacecraft.  The image 
  was produced at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) Multimission Image 
  Processing Laboratory and is a single frame from a video released at the
  JPL  news conference, 10-29-91.  View provided by JPL with alternate number 
  P-39225 MGN81.
