I didn’t know about it. I thought it must be impossible to have an image that was shot in a 450° hot sulfuric acid cloud that looks like normal rocks.
It’s unbelievable.
That sounds right. I recall that one of the probes had a camera that was able to take a series of images like a video. But the video visually degraded with every shot it took after opening the lens cap. The effect was like watching a movie as the projector film starts to melt.

Iirc, the probe lasted half an hour before being destroyed. It’s an astonishing achievement to have sent back those pictures.
