Venus is still alive. Scientists studying data sent home by NASA's Magellan spacecraft in the early 1990s say they have spotted volcanic activity on Venus. The discovery, announced in a paper ...

When scientists recently took a closer look at archival images of the surface of Venus, they discovered something new: evidence of volcanic activity on Earth’s “twin.” The NASA Magellan ...

NASA's Magellan mission is one of the most successful deep space missions of all time. The spacecraft provided the first and most complete image map of the surface of Venus, and the most ...

Vast, quasi-circular features on Venus's surface may reveal that the planet has ongoing tectonics, according to new research based on data gathered more than 30 years ago by NASA's Magellan mission.

Evidence continues to assemble that Venus is more geologically active than previously thought. Planetary scientists scouring decades-old data from NASA's Magellan spacecraft have found signs of ...

Scientists say data from more than 30 years ago shows the planet Venus is volcanic. NASA's Magellan spacecraft collected images of the planet's surface between 1990 and 1992, and researchers ...

New research strengthens the case that Venus, long considered a geologically stagnant world, may be more Earth-like in its internal dynamics than once believed.

The research supports the argument that Venus’ tectonics are active today, he says. What’s more, the demonstrated ability of computer simulations to predict what spacecraft may observe will be a boon ...

The Magellan mission became the first one to image the entire surface of Venus before the spacecraft intentionally plunged into the planet’s hot, toxic atmosphere in 1994 to collect a final set ...
