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 ...

For decades, Venus has been known as Earth’s hotter, cloud‑shrouded twin, a world of crushing pressure and scorching heat. Now, scientists have discovered something else beneath that broiling surface- ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

The volcanoes of Venus are still active today, with at least 37 areas showing recent activity, a new 3D model reveals. This simulation from the University of Maryland and the Institute of Geophysics ...
