The Hidden Heart of Venus: A Planetary Puzzle Solved? The notion that our solar system's second planet is a desolate, geologically inert world has been turned on its head by a team of scientists at ETH Zurich.
Their research suggests that Venus may still be actively tearing itself apart from within, challenging the long held view of a dormant world.
For decades, astronomers and planetary scientists have been fascinated by Venus's enigmatic surface. The planet's thick atmosphere traps heat, making it one of the most inhospitable places in the solar system.
