Image:Venus-pioneer-uv.jpg, taken by NASA and photoshopped to a perfectly black background by me (User:Rdsmith4). I release my changes to the image into the public domain.

Ultraviolet image of Venus' clouds as seen by the Pioneer Venus Orbiter (February 26, 1979). The immense C- or Y-shaped features which are visible only in these wavelengths are individually short lived, but reform often enough to be considered a permanent feature of Venus' clouds. The mechanism by which Venus' clouds absorb ultraviolet is not well understood.
