Scientists Find Fresh Lava Flows Indicating Volcanic Activity on Venus
May 27, 2024, 04:26 PM
Recent research has provided compelling evidence that Venus is volcanically active. Using archival data from NASA's long dead Magellan mission, scientists have identified two significant fresh lava flows on the planet's surface. This discovery contradicts previous assumptions that Venus's thick atmosphere prevented volcanic activity. The findings suggest that Venus, a planet known for its searing temperatures and acidic clouds, may have experienced recent eruptions. This revelation raises the stakes for future exploration of Venus.
