New Analysis Reveals Dynamic Volcanism on Venus

WASHINGTON—A fresh analysis of radar images obtained more than three decades ago has yielded new evidence indicating Venus, Earth’s planetary next-door neighbor, is currently volcanically active—a dynamic world with eruptions and lava flows. Researchers said on Wednesday radar images taken by NASA’s Magellan spacecraft showed that a volcanic vent about a mile (1.6 km) wide on the Venusian surface expanded and changed shape over an eight-month sp…

Volcanic Activity on Venus – Earth’s Evil Twin – Revealed in NASA’s Magellan Data

In a first, scientists have seen direct evidence of active volcanism on Earth’s twin, setting the stage for the agency’s VERITAS mission to investigate. Direct geological evidence of recent volcanic activity has been observed on the surface of Venus for the first time. Scientists made the discove
