Waspie_Dwarf Posted Thursday at 02:27 AM #1 Share Posted Thursday at 02:27 AM (IP: Staff) · NASA’s Magellan Data Reveals Volcanic Activity on Venus Quote 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 discovery after poring over archival radar images of Venus taken more than 30 years ago, in the 1990s, by NASA’s Magellan mission. The images revealed a volcanic vent changing shape and increasing significantly in size in less than a year. Read More: NASA 2 1 Top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fred_mc Posted Friday at 05:42 AM #2 Share Posted Friday at 05:42 AM I'm a bit surprised that they haven't found that out until now. I thought that it was already a known fact that Venus has volcanic activity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought that it was already a known fact that Venus has volcanic activity. It was know that there had been volcanic activity in the past. It was suspected, but not known for sure, that Venus is still volcanically active. As the article says, this is the first direct evidence of current activity.

Jon the frog Posted Saturday at 01:04 PM #4 Share Posted Saturday at 01:04 PM Venus is quite hard to survive when landing on. A giant pressure cookers. Mars is way more gentle and hospitable. When the sun will become hotter, the earth will be a blazing inferno like Venus. Will be in 1 billion years, everything will be erased. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
