For decades, Venus, often dubbed “Earth’s twin,” has been depicted as a barren, inhospitable world, its surface locked in an unchanging, oven-hot state. Yet, recent data from NASA’s Magellan orbiter ...

Does Venus still have volcanoes? Astronomers are hunting for evidence in old Magellan radar images and with future missions.

(CNN) — When scientists recently took a closer look at archival images of the surface of Venus, they discovered something new: evidence of volcanic activity on Earth’s “twin.” The NASA ...

NASA's Magellan spacecraft collected images of the planet's surface between 1990 and 1992, and researchers recently searched that data to study the possible activity of the volcanoes in the terrain.

Magellan was the last NASA mission wholly dedicated to Venus; since then, it's been up to the Parker Solar Probe to conduct brief flybys of our planetary neighbor.

Direct geological evidence of recent volcanic activity has been observed on the surface of Venus for the first time.

New analysis of images captured in the early 1990s by NASA's Magellan spacecraft reveals evidence of volcanic activity on Venus, according to a new study published in the journal Science.
