Venus_15x

A globe file for the planet Venus. A 15 times exaggeration of elevations is used. This was requested by a planetarium in Argentina. It is donated for free. It is for an 18 inch diameter globe. The outer file is Venus. The second file, inner, is to make a 3D printer produce a thin shell. The material of the globe will be 1/8 inch thick by using the outer and inner files. There may be some errors in the file which you can fix.

Data sets were in a sinusoidal projection. Get the data for Venus here:

The Perl software is shown here that takes the sinusoidal data and re-allocates it to a rectangular array of elevations:
