A team led by the Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) has created a model of the early impacts on Venus to explain how Earth's sister planet maintained a young surface despite not having plate tectonics.
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

Has a chemical marker for the possibility of life on the surface of Venus been discovered?

Astronomers have discovered a rare element - phosphine - in the clouds of the planet Venus. On Earth, this gas is only produced in industry or it is emitted by bacteria living in an oxygen-limited environment

Pictured from top to bottom (not to scale) are the Moon, Venus and an asteroid. These three bodies are prime candidates for NASA's next scientific space mission. The proposed missions are: monitoring Venus' atmosphere and crust, returning samples from a near-Earth asteroid for analysis, or dropping a robotic vehicle into the Moon's south polar basin and returning rock samples from there for examination and analysis on Earth .

NASA has selected three finalists for scientific missions, one of which will be carried out: to Venus, an asteroid or the moon
