This computer reconstruction of the surface of Venus was created from data from the Magellan spacecraft . Magellan orbited Venus and used radar to map our neighboring planet's surface between 1990 and 1994. Magellan found many interesting surface features, including the large circular domes , typically 25-kilometers across, that are depicted above .

(There are probably also many more planetary satellites that have not yet been discovered.) The inner solar system contains the Sun , Mercury , Venus , Earth and Mars : The main asteroid belt (not shown) lies between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. The planets of the outer solar system are Jupiter , Saturn , Uranus , and Neptune ( Pluto is now classified as a dwarf planet): The first thing to notice is that the solar system is mostly empty space.

The observations included imaging at various wavelengths including ultraviolet andinfrared, laser ranging altimetry, and charged particle measurements.These observations were originally for the purposes of assessing the surfacemineralogy of the Moon and Geographos, obtaining lunar altimetry from60N to 60S latitude, and determining the size, shape, rotationalcharacteristics, surface properties, and cratering statistics ofGeographos.

It is larger than Mercury and Pluto, and three-quarters the size of Mars. If Ganymede orbited the Sun instead of orbiting Jupiter, it would easily be classified as a planet. Composition Like Callisto, Ganymede is most likely composed of a rocky core with a water/ice mantle and a crust of rock and ice. Its low density of 1.94 gm/cm3,indicates that the core takes up about 50% of the satellite's diameter. Ganymede's mantle is most likely composed of ice and silicates, and its crust is probably a thick layer of water ice.

However, vast plains of basaltic lavas cover much of the lunar surface. The earliest astronomers thought, wrongly, that these plains were seas of lunar water. Thus, they were called " mare " (pronounced "mahr-ay"). Mare means "sea" in Latin. In addition, other volcanic features also occur within the lunar mare. The most important are sinuous rilles , dark mantling deposits ,and small volcanic domes and cones . Most of these features are fairly small, however. They form only a tiny fraction of the lunar volcanic record. 1. Oceanus Procellarum 2. Mare Imbrium 3. Mare Cognitum 4. Mare Humorum 5. Mare Nubium 6. Mare Frigoris 7. Mare Serenitatis 8.
