This Is What Venus REALLY Looks Like (No CGI, No Filters)

[Celerity]

None of these images are beautiful in the traditional sense. They’re not made to impress. They’re made to reveal. And that’s what makes them so powerful.

You’re not looking at a digital render. You’re not looking at a filtered approximation. You’re looking at Venus as it actually is, in all its alien, hostile, violently active detail.

And the more we look… the more we find.
