Venus: Evidence of Volcanic Activity and Breakthrough Discoveries

Scientists have found evidence of volcanic activity on Venus using data collected by NASA's Magellan spacecraft more than 30 years ago. Researchers from the University of Alaska and the California Institute of Technology identified two large volcanoes in the Atla Regio region of Venus, Ozza and Maat Mons, and confirmed they are two of the largest volcanoes on the planet. While questions about the volcanoes on Venus remain, the researchers believe they are less active than the ones on Jupiter's moon, Io.
