1990-1992 Venus surface changes indicate ongoing volcanic activity similar to Earth's.

New research suggests Venus's volcanoes are currently active, potentially erupting at a rate similar to Earth's. Scientists discovered changes to Venus's surface from 1990-1992, likely caused by fresh lava flows. The findings, published in Nature Astronomy, indicate that volcanic activity may be more widespread than previously believed, supporting indirect evidence of ongoing volcanism on Venus.
