Researchers pored over images from Magellan’s visit to Venus in the early 1990s. ... The active crater sits high on Maat Mons, one of Venus’ largest volcanoes whose summit is 5 km above the ...

Because of this, Venus also has a large amount of craters in "pristine" condition. This photo, taken by Magellan, shows a three-dimensional colored view of a crater farm on the planet’s surface. 4 ...

Magellan zipped to Venus at 71,000 mph (113,600 km/h), traveling 1.5 times around the Sun and covering 788 million miles (1.2 billion kilometers). ... Magellan found few impact craters, ...

In searching for craters on Venus, "We had been looking for big holes in the ground," Hansen said in a statement. And indeed, about 1,000 craters on Venus are already known.

Three impact craters are displayed in this three-dimensional perspective view of the surface of Venus taken by NASA’s Magellan, the first deep space probe launched by a space shuttle. The center ...

Unlike Earth, on Venus, no plate tectonics exist which could help to hide old craters. If all the water in Venus’s atmosphere were condensed into a layer on the surface, it would be only 10 cm deep.

Scientists have analyzed 30-year-old data from NASA's Magellan mission to Venus and detected the first-ever signs of volcanic activity on the planet, emanating from a giant crater called Maat Mons.

Three impact craters are displayed in this three-dimensional perspective view of the surface of Venus created with data from the probe Magellan. Visible are the Aglaonice, Howe and Danilova craters.

This is Aurelia, a 32km impact crater on Venus. Aurelia crater on Venus, imaged by Magellan in 1996. NASA/JPL. You can see it stands out against the grey plains that surround it.
