Groundbreaking discovery: Active volcano found on Venus

NASA scientists have discovered direct evidence of active volcanism on Venus for the first time ever by examining radar images taken more than 30 years ago by NASA's Magellan mission. The images revealed a volcanic vent changing shape and increasing in size over the period of less than a year. The discovery was made by a research professor who led the search of the archival data. The VERITAS mission will launch within a decade, sending an orbiter to study Venus from surface to core.
