NASA scientists found that the outer shell of Venus may be resurfacing the planet. The team studied geological features called "coronae" in Magellan mission images.
Large geological patterns on Venus, called Coronae, may provide answers to how the planet releases heat, according to a research study from scientists at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory.
The research uses archival NASA data to show that Venus may be losing heat from geologic activity in regions called coronae, possibly like early tectonic activity on Earth.
