Arecibo radar image of Dione Regio on Venus. White arrows indicate radar-bright features that potentially represent debris from previous volcanic eruptions (Campbell et al. 2017). (Right) Goldstone Solar System Radar image of the near-Earth asteroid (NEA) 2017 BQ 6 showing sharp facets on this object. NEAs display a range of surface features, from which evolution and collisional processes can be constrained, and are important to characterize for planetary defense.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
