Venus is covered in more volcanos than any other planet in the solar system. And now scientists from University of Alaska Fairbanks have 'strong evidence' that some of these volcanos are active.

What scientists can lean from discovery of potential life on Venus 04:03. Radar images of the surface of Venus appear to show fresh lava flows, suggesting active volcanoes on the planet.

Venus might be as volcanically active as Earth. Decades-old data reveal signs of relatively fresh lava flows. The slopes of Sif Mons, a large shield volcano on Venus, ...

WASHINGTON - Venus appears to be more volcanically active than previously known, according to scientists, whose new analysis of decades-old radar images has spotted evidence of eruptions at two ...

Thus Venus joins Earth and Io as being volcanically active rocky bodies in our solar system.” In other words, the volcanism club has expanded its membership roll. Read more ...

For decades, Venus, often dubbed “Earth’s twin,” has been depicted as a barren, inhospitable world, its surface locked in an unchanging, oven-hot state. Yet, recent data from NASA’s Magellan orbiter ...

Most planetary scientists already expected Venus to be volcanically active. The focus of attention will now surely turn to how often, and at how many sites, eruptions are occurring on Venus.

Confirming that Venus is volcanically active is especially useful given upcoming missions to Venus, says Mason, such as the European Space Agency’s EnVision and NASA’s VERITAS satellites.

Earth boasts more than 1,500 potentially active volcanoes, with 50 to 70 erupting every year. But why is our planet so volcanically active? The answer lies in plate tectonics, the movement of divided ...
