Scientific Breakthrough Reveals Venus Is Very Different Than We Thought

The latest discovery of recent lava flow on Venus breaks the door wide open on a new interest in studying the planet that had been getting the cold shoulder for so long. Earlier this year, researchers located a volcanic vent on the planet that wowed them by proving the planet is still changing year after year.

This also points to the planet still bursting with plenty of lava from its multitude of vents. 

Studying Venus will only better help scientists understand Earth which is probably why NASA is finally sending a new mission – VERITAS – to the volcanic planet over the next few years. Essentially what we’re saying is – move over, Mars. There’s a new favorite in town.
