Scientists Discover Active Volcanoes on Venus Using Archival NASA Data from Early 90s
May 27, 2024, 04:40 PM
Recent research has revealed that Venus, long suspected to be volcanically active, indeed has active volcanoes. Scientists have identified two significant lava flows on Venus, thanks to archival data from NASA’s Magellan mission conducted in the early 90s. This discovery, facilitated by new software, provides strong evidence that volcanic activity continues to reshape the planet. The findings, reported by NYTScience, raise the stakes for future exploration of Venus, a planet known for its extreme temperatures and acidic clouds.
