ETH Zurich Simulations Suggest Venus Rift Valleys May Be Geologically Young
Computer simulations published by researchers at ETH Zurich reveal that Venusian rift valleys may be geologically young, suggesting that the planet’s crust is still stretching and breaking apart. The findings challenge long-held assumptions about a dormant Venus and could guide upcoming orbital missions scheduled for the early 2030s. For decades, planetary scientists regarded Venus as … Read more
