Scientists find 'strong evidence' that Venus is volcanically active

Images from NASA's Magellan spacecraft show a vent - an opening through which volcanic activity occurs - on the planet changed shape over an eight month period.

This suggests that eruptions and lava flows on Venus are ongoing.

Discovery casts doubt that Earth's sister planet could host microbial life.

Venus is a terrestrial planet similar in size to Earth, but has a surface temperature of 867F (464C).
