For those interested in Venus, I'd recommend trying to keep up with Don Mitchell's stream of stuff on Twitter. This thread where he produces updated imagery from the Soviet Venus landing is great [1]. He's also seemingly made a bunch of progress on his upcoming book [2]. He used to post everything to his website at mentallandscape.com, and it's still up for useful history / structure, but all his work for the past decade seems to be solely on Twitter (until the book happens!).
