Venus Pioneer
Nearing its third orbital anniversary on 4 December, the
Pioneer spacecraft around Venus is sending back data that
scientists hope will provide better understanding of Earth.
For example, Venus has:
	1) Plateaus higher than the Tibetans
	2) A mountain higher than Mount Everest
	3) Earthquakes and volcanic eruptions similar
	   to those on Earth
	4) Lava streams
	5) Lightning around volcanos
