Abstract Infrared observations of Venus from the Pioneer Orbiter have been used to study the limb darkening properties of the cloud tops at wavelengths and spatial resolutions not previously attained. The preliminary results show evidence for an extensive haze feature over the equatorial morning terminator and for small amounts of a far-infrared absorber concentrated near local noon, also near the equator. The evidence for these features is reviewed and their possible origins briefly discussed.
