Evidence continues to assemble that Venus is more geologically active than previously thought. Planetary scientists scouring decades-old data from NASA's Magellan spacecraft have found signs of lava ...

Radar images of the surface of Venus appear to show fresh lava flows, suggesting active volcanoes on the planet. Scientists from Italy's International Research School of Planetary Sciences wrote in an ...

Convection processes beneath Venus' scorched surface may help explain the planet's many volcanoes, a new study reports. Venus, the hottest planet in the solar system, is estimated to have 85,000 ...

Scientists have found new evidence of volcanic activity reshaping the surface of Venus, which could even suggest that its activity rivals that of present day Earth. Back in 2023, scientists analysing ...

When scientists recently took a closer look at archival images of the surface of Venus, they discovered something new: evidence of volcanic activity on Earth's "twin." The NASA Magellan spacecraft ...

New research led by Universities Space Research Association (USRA) and published today in Science Advances shows that lava flows on Venus may be only a few years old, suggesting that Venus could be ...

ESA’s Venus Express has measured a highly variable quantity of the volcanic gas sulphur dioxide in the atmosphere of Venus. Scientists must now decide whether this is evidence for active volcanoes on ...

Despite the clouds of sulfuric acid and crushing pressure, Venus is more like Earth than any other planet in the solar system. It has true mountain ranges, similar gravity, and volcanic activity. Even ...

UNSPECIFIED - JANUARY 13: A volcano named Sapas Mons dominates this computer-generated view of the surface of Venus. Lava flows extend for hundreds of kilometers across the fractured plains shown in ...
