"New Evidence Suggests Active Volcanoes on Venus"
TL;DR
Recent analysis of decades-old data from NASA's Magellan spacecraft reveals evidence of volcanic eruptions on Venus in the early 1990s, suggesting the planet is geologically active. Lava flows from Sif Mons and Niobe Planitia were identified, indicating Venus may have ongoing volcanic activity similar to Earth. This discovery, along with previous findings, heightens interest in future Venus missions to understand its geological evolution.
