Calibrated image of the night-side of Venus taken on 25 March 2016 07:33 UT by IR2, the 2-μm camera, on board the Venus Climate Orbiter/Akatsuki. Contrast features in the image are believed to reflect the opacity contrast of dense middle and lower clouds with a particle size of about 3.7 μm (called mode 3) located around 49–57 km height. Note that the sub-spacecraft longitude and latitude are 246.0 deg. and −9.1 deg., respectively
