"NASA Data Unveils Active Volcanoes on Venus"
TL;DR
Recent analysis of NASA's Magellan mission data has revealed two volcanic eruptions on Venus in the early 1990s, adding to the 2023 discovery of another active volcano. This suggests Venus is more volcanically active than previously thought. The findings, published in Nature Astronomy, highlight the potential for future missions like NASA's VERITAS to further explore Venus' geological activity.
