Missions to Venus

Image 1. Topography and SAR image of the research area on Venus. Color indicates altitudes, measured relative to the planet's mean radius from Magellan's reticulated altitude data. The X and Y axes represent geographic longitude and latitude of the planet. From the study.

A new analysis of data from the XNUMXs has proven that volcanoes are still erupting on Venus today
