Among its many mysteries are the planet’s so-called pancake domes—enormous, circular volcanic formations that resemble oversized flapjacks left to cook on Venus’ searing surface. While scientists have ...

Radar images of the surface of Venus appear to show fresh lava flows, suggesting active volcanoes on the planet. Scientists from Italy's International Research School of Planetary Sciences wrote ...

Essentially, these Magellan radar images revealed indications of lava flow reshaping the terrain at various sites on Venus. Scientists have been building an emerging picture of Venus as an active ...

That is close to what scientists have spotted on Venus: two vast, sinuous lava flows oozing from two different corners of Earth’s planetary neighbor. “After you see something like this ...

Venus is almost the same size ... It showed that over 80 percent of the surface is covered by lava flows, but just how recently the youngest of them were erupted, and whether any eruptions ...

Scientists have long suspected these “pancake domes” formed from thick, slow-moving lava. But a new study suggests that Venus’ bendy crust may be crucial to the formation of the circular mounts.

In a typical infernal hellscape, you’d expect to find lava—but that element seems to be missing from Venus today. Astronomers are sure that our twin planet had volcanic activity in the past ...

"Evidence for activity, even in the lower-resolution Magellan data, supercharges the potential to revolutionize our understanding of this enigmatic world." Evidence continues to assemble that ...

Venus has long been a point of speculation for ... after finding what appears to be the remnants of eruptions and lava flows. Scientists spotted a 1-square-mile volcanic vent that appears to ...
