First X-ray Image of Venus Showing Half Crescent in Space Image
This captivating image showcases the first x-ray observation of Venus, presenting a distinct half crescent shape created by the orientation of the Sun, Earth, and Venus. Captured by the Chandra X-ray Observatory, the x-rays here are a result of fluorescent radiation from elements like oxygen in the planet's atmosphere, located 120-140 kilometers above Venus' surface. This image can be used in educational materials, scientific publications, or space exploration articles to illustrate Venus' atmospheric composition and the advancements in astronomical imaging.
