Using infrared imaging data collected by the two satellites over a 10-year period from 2015 to 2025, the team estimated ...

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 ...

Researchers studying archival radar data from NASA’s Magellan mission have uncovered compelling signs that tectonic activity could still be shaping the surface of Venus today. The findings ...

Vast, quasi-circular features on Venus’ surface may reveal that the planet has ongoing tectonics, according to new research based on data gathered more than 30 years ago by NASA’s Magellan ...

Now, scientists combing back through the Magellan data have found fresh evidence of volcanic activity on Venus, which may even suggest that the planet is host to a similar level of volcanism as ...

Venus in its entirety was revealed for the first time in 1991 by the NASA Magellan Imaging Radar spacecraft which orbited the planet.

Magellan mapped 98% of the planet’s surface from 1990 to 1992, and the images it generated remain the most detailed of Venus to date.

Evidence continues to assemble that Venus is more geologically active than previously thought. Planetary scientists scouring decades-old data from NASA's Magellan spacecraft have found signs of ...

The lava flows were formed by recent volcanic eruptions, providing some of the best evidence yet that Venus is still geologically active.

It can be hard to know what's going on beneath Venus' super-dense atmosphere, but new data analysis from the decades-old Magellan mission reveals surface changes around two volcanoes.
