Recent analysis of archival data from the 1990s reveals ongoing volcanic activity on Venus.

Scientists reanalyzed data from NASA's Magellan spacecraft, identifying changes in Venus' surface indicative of new rock formations since 1990.

These findings challenge previous assumptions about Venus' geology, suggesting the planet is more geologically active than previously thought.

The study focused on the Sif Mons and Niobe Planitia regions, where significant rock formations reshaped the terrain.

The level of volcanic activity on Venus may be comparable to Earth.

Despite these findings, the VERITAS mission to investigate Venus' volcanic sites is delayed due to budget constraints.

NASA and ESA aim to launch the VERITAS mission in the early 2030s to explore Venus' geological processes and potential habitability.
