This is the Probe Venera 9 a U.S.S.R probe that was the first probe EVER to send back pictures of the planet Venus!

These are some of the photos that Venera 9 took

Only one of its' cameras was working after touchdown, so this was all that it could take.

This is Venera 9's younger sister Venera 10

Actually this is just a museum model, but you get the gist.

The top is from Venera 9 and the bottom is from Venera 10

Like Venera 9, Venera 10 had some issues after Venus-fall. Mainly in that only one of it's cameras were able to capture any photographs. Unfortunately due to the angle that the craft landed at it was unable to take any good pictures.

And these two beautiful pictures are from the Venera 13

Venera 13 was arguably the most successful of the Venera probes. As of today it is the only probe that has managed to take colour photos of the surface of Venus.

I have to stop taking the views of the northern lights for granted. It's such a common sight where I live that I don't realize that many never get to see it.
