According to Jet Propulsion Laboratory, California Institute of Technology, geological proof of recent volcanic activity has been found on the surface of Venus for the first time. After carefully studying old radar photographs of Venus collected NASA’s Magellan mission in the 1990s, scients made the finding. Images showed a volcanic vent that had grown greatly in size and changed shape in less than a year.

They further added, “Scients study active volcanoes to understand how a planet’s interior can shape its crust, drive its evolution, and affect its habitability. The new findings set the stage for our upcoming orbiter mission VERITAS – short for Venus Emissivity, Radio science, InSAR, Topography, and Spectroscopy – which will do just that when it launches within a decade.”
