Description:


    This visualization excerpt from the Dynamic Earth full-dome production takes viewers across the hostile surface of Venus to the Sapas Mons crater, where a volcano spews smoke and lava. NASA’s Magellan Mission provided topography data for Venus, and scientist David Grinspoon from the Denver Museum advised the NCSA visualization team.
