About this image

A comparison of clouds on Venus captured in UV and an IR band between 850 nm and 1020 nm. This was fascinating. Usually the clouds appear totally different at these opposite wavelengths but on this occasion some of the clouds going diagonally across the middle appear to have similar features while the rest are completely different.
