More evidence of a volcanic Venus 🌋 By analyzing archival data from @NASA’s Magellan mission, scientists have identified two volcanoes that erupted on Venus in the early 90s. https://t.co ...

Another potentially active volcano is Kono Mons, which is located in another major rift system of Venus, known as Zverine Chasma. The volcano grew as a shield that covered an area of 70,000 km2, ...

The same uncertainty has been true for Venus, until recently; while scientists previously believed that Venus’ volcanoes were inactive, new evidence is starting to push back against this notion. A ...

The volcano is situated in the northern hemisphere of Venus, within a region known as Aphrodite Terra. The volcano is characterized by its large, irregular summit caldera, which measures about 28 ...

This computer-generated 3D model of Venus’ surface shows the volcano Sif Mons, which is exhibiting signs of ongoing activity. Using data from NASA’s Magellan mission, Italian researchers detected ...

"Regarding the flows in Niobe Planitia, the lava flows appear to originate near small shield volcanoes and extend toward the northeast, also following the direction of the slope," Mastrogiuseppe added ...

Venus has several shield volcanoes that are larger (reaching hundreds of kilometers) but less steep than the volcanoes on Earth. The planet also has numerous sites with elliptical patterns ...

The newly spotted lava flows appear to have oozed out from the western slopes of Sif Mons, a huge shield volcano, and Niobe Planitia, a relatively flat region home to many volcanoes.

Venus is the second planet from the sun, and Earth the third. Venus has a diameter of about 7,500 miles (12,000 km), slightly smaller than Earth June 20, 2025 e-Paper ...

Both believed to be the aftermath of epic eruptions, one lava flow was found simmering near the mighty Sif Mons, a so-called shield volcano that spans nearly 200 miles across and is over a mile tall.
