Turn Venus's map north up, so Maxwell Montes is drawn in the north where the IAU puts it
venus.jpg, from the Solar System Scope pack, is the Magellan radar map turned half round: south up and east to the left. Its brightest feature north or south of 50 degrees, Maxwell Montes, sat at 63.4 S, 8.9 W (blurred at sigma 3), with Lakshmi Planum east of it; the IAU Gazetteer puts Maxwell at 65.2 N, 3.3 E, at Lakshmi's eastern end. The IAU pole and W are right (Venus's sub-Earth longitude matched Horizons to the thousandth), and so is MAP_TO_BODY, which Earth, Mars, the Moon and Mercury were checked against; the file was not, and its surface was drawn turned 180 degrees about the prime meridian's axis. Turned back with PIL's ROTATE_180 and re-saved on the file's own quantisation tables (0.03 grey levels from the exact turn, 240 079 bytes), its brightest point is 63.7 N, 8.3 E with Lakshmi to the west, and the dev server serves that file. The textures README records the check, the MAP_TO_BODY comment adds Venus to the maps it names, and texture-catalog.spec.ts pins the checked file's SHA-256, since no image decoder runs in the unit suite (a triple-slash reference gives that one spec Node's types). Control: the pack's file put back fails "wraps Venus in the map turned north up". Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
