Numerical modeling suggests structurally stable lava tubes may exist beneath Venus, guiding future radar, imaging, and geophysical searches by upcoming planetary missions.

The northern hemisphere of Venus, as captured in radar data from NASA’s Magellan spacecraft. Some of the circular features seen in this image are coronae, mysterious formations that recent studies ...

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 ...

The geology of Venus presents a complex interplay between extensive volcanic activity, mantle dynamics and tectonic deformation. Recent studies have revealed that, in the absence of Earth‐like plate ...

The geology and surface processes of Venus continue to intrigue planetary scientists, revealing a dynamic world shaped by volcanic activity, tectonic forces and chemical weathering. Recent ...

What can 30-year-old data teach scientists about Venus’ geological activity? This is what a recent study published in Science Advances hopes to address as an international team of researchers ...

When scientists recently took a closer look at archival images of the surface of Venus, they discovered something new: evidence of volcanic activity on Earth's "twin." The NASA Magellan spacecraft ...

New research strengthens the case that Venus, long considered a geologically stagnant world, may be more Earth-like in its internal dynamics than once believed. When you purchase through links on our ...

Earth’s geology is downright vital. Here, giant “plates” of the crust rift apart and smash together like pieces of an ever changing planetary jigsaw puzzle. Mountains rise, volcanoes spew, and Earth ...

New research suggests that Venus could be much more geologically active than previously thought. A groundbreaking study by Viatcheslav S. Solomatov and Chhavi Jain proposes that Venus’ crust may be ...

When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. A view of Venus taken by NASA’s Magellan spacecraft in 1996. A new look at Magellan data has ...
