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 ...

A 2022 Mauna Loa eruption is helping scientists refine techniques to detect active volcanoes on Venus by combining satellite imagery, 3D lava flow models, and machine learning. The findings, to be ...

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 ...

Venus—a hot planet pocked with tens of thousands of volcanoes—may be even more geologically active near its surface than previously thought. New calculations by researchers at Washington University in ...

A new study suggests the planet’s iconic domes owe their strange shape to both thick lava and a flexible surface. Reading time 2 minutes Venus is home to some of the weirdest volcanoes in the solar ...

A new analysis of data collected on Venus more than 30 years ago suggests the planet may currently be volcanically active. A research group from Italy led by David Sulcanese of the Università ...

The surface of Venus is littered with thousands of volcanoes, some of which may still be active until today. A fresh look at 30-year-old radar images captured by the Magellan spacecraft revealed new ...

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 ...

The discovery was made by re-analyzing radar data from NASA's Magellan spacecraft from the early 1990s. This finding confirms long-held theories about the existence of subsurface volcanic features on ...
