Recently Discovered Volcanoes on Venus Provide Evidence of Active Geology
A new study has revealed exciting new information about the surface of Venus. Scientists have discovered proof that volcanoes on Venus are still active! This is the first time that evidence of current volcanic activity has been found on Venus. This discovery was made possible by the use of an infrared camera on the European Space Agency’s Venus Express spacecraft.
This groundbreaking research has implications for our understanding of the evolution of Venus and other planets in our Solar System. According to the study’s lead author, Dr. Martha Gilmore, this discovery shows that “Venus is an active planet and has been for much of its history”. This research will help scientists better understand the geological and climatic processes that continue to shape Venus today.
