Archival images from the Magellan spacecraft have revealed evidence of recent volcanic activity on Venus, according to a new study. The images represent the first direct geological evidence of volcanic activity on the planet's surface. The VERITAS mission, set to launch within a decade, will use radar to create 3D maps of Venus and capture details about its surface composition, gravitational field, and past.
