known as Venus Earth’s “Twin Brother”. Especially since they share similar dimensions and structures. however, Explain The second planet in the solar system, NASA said, “has a high surface temperature and a dense, toxic atmosphere.” In addition to the lack of a magnetic field, it occurs The planet cannot support life as we know it.

However, astronomers believe that at some point in its natural history, Planet The oceans overflowed. Although scientists Reject Based on these possibilities, our neighbor in the solar system has retained some of its volcanic activity. Specifically Matt Mons is one of the tallest volcanoes on Venus.

Like Mars, Venus is a dusty and inhospitable place. What’s more: NASA astronomers have documented heavy yellow clouds with sulfuric acid. These concentrations of gas trap heat, “Runaway Greenhouse Effect“, details Space Agency.

This event does Venus is the hottest planet in the entire solar systemAlthough Mercury is close to the Sun.. it seems that The bowels of our neighbors are equally hellish. This is proven by the thousands of volcanoes that have formed on the surface over thousands of years. At least one of them is still active, recently discovered by NASA with the Magellan mission:

“Lava flows extend hundreds of kilometers to the base of Matt Mons in the fractured plains shown in the foreground,” the space agency said in a statement. freedom.

In a vast mountain region known as the Alta Reggio, researchers found direct evidence Volcanic activity with an active Mat Mons vent.

With this discovery, according to University of Alaska Fairbanks Geophysical Institute researcher Robert Herrick, A new era of volcanism could begin on Venus. Although the expert admitted, at first, he did not expect to win 200 hours of work discovered Venus Volcano still active. Their research was recently published Science.
