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.
This computer-generated 3D model of the surface of Venus shows the summit of Mad Mons, a volcano showing signs of activity. A new study found that over an
Scientists have analyzed 30-year-old data from NASA's Magellan mission to Venus and detected the first-ever signs of volcanic activity on the planet, emanating from a giant crater called Maat Mons.
