На Венере нашли «свежие» следы вулканической лавыThe bowels of Venus can be still active.

European astronomers have identified on Venus is close to the mountains idunn relatively new signs of eruption.

The finding suggests that the subsoil of the planet can be at the present time living in the geological sense of the word.

As reported by Piero D Ineko (Piero D Incecco) of Aerospace center Germany (DLR), thanks to modern methods managed to combine infrared pictures with the “Venus-Express” with better radar pictures obtained by the us probe Magellan. Due to this, you can now examine the geological structure, recently appeared due to volcanic activity.

The atmosphere of Venus is a hot to 462 degrees Celsius, the mixture of carbon dioxide and sulfuric acid. The heat inside the planet has accumulated to the point while its surface began to occur volcanic eruption. Because of them, Venus became a greenhouse of enormous size, the researchers note.

Probably through elevation of idunn and noticed her volcano with a diameter of 200 kilometers of Venus maintains a reasonable temperature. Now researchers are studying the deposits of lava, trying to figure out when exactly the eruption, as well as set the frequency of such events on the planet.
