"Venus is made of the same stuff of Earth, but is bone-dry, hot enough to melt lead and has a chokingly thick atmosphere. It even spins backwards.

Astronomers have spent decades trying to explain Venus' mysterious properties. Now one scientist thinks the planet's formation may explain all: Two huge, protoplanetary bodies collided head-on and merged to form our planetary neighbor, but obliterated nearly all water in the process."

As they believed back then, that Venus was our Earthlike sister and worth exploring.
They drilled into its surface, and also took photographs.

Recently their 30 year old photo's have been digitally enhanced and re-released. See below

If you mean evidence for a collosal collision with Venus?
Shades of 'Vehlikovsky'....does it matter? Did it happen? Was it real? Your guess is as good as mine.
But the 26 year old photographs taken by the Russian Lander on the surface of Venus are real enough.
