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.

NASA’s boldest plan yet to find alien life in our solar system targets the most unlikely place: Venus. With its scorching ...

This computer-generated 3D model of Venus' surface shows the volcano Sif Mons, which is exhibiting signs of ongoing activity. NASA/JPL-Caltech ...

Scientists made the discovery after poring over archival radar images of Venus taken by NASA's Magellan mission more than 30 years ago, in the 1990s. In a recent discovery, scientists in Italy ...

Venus is surrounded by a thick, toxic atmosphere filled with carbon dioxide and sulfuric acid clouds. The gasses trap the heat in a "runaway greenhouse effect," said another NASA scientist.

Venus has active volcanism. A new analysis of decades-old images reveals the first definitive sign of a volcano erupting on the hellish planet next door. NASA’s Magellan spacecraft observed the ...

NASA NASA sees active Venus volcano for first time ever NASA scientists looked at images of Venus from more than 30 years ago By Julia Musto Fox News Published March 16, 2023 2:07pm EDT Flipboard ...

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 ...

NASA's Pioneer Venus mission, which orbited the planet from 1978 to 1992, saw a similar peak and decline in sulfur dioxide. At that time, the preferred explanation was an earlier injection of ...

NASA’s last mission to Venus was Magellan, an orbiter launched in 1989. If selected, the DAVINCI+ mission would be the first NASA-led spacecraft to enter the planet’s atmosphere since 1978.

The hotspots on Venus'hellish surface were first recognized by NASA's Magellan spacecraft, whichentered into orbit around the planet in 1990.
