Why do scientists think that Venus has active volcanoes.

Venus is a terrestrial planet, due to its uniform size, gravity, and structure, it has been called the "sister planet" of the Earth, with about 80% of the surface of the planet Venus covered by smooth and volcanic plains, and the same 70% saline ridges. Of plains, and 10% is made of smooth or plastered plains. Evidence of lava impact on the planet Venus along with the volcanic pool remains a puzzle even today, because there are some striking craters on this planet, which exhibit its surface being relatively young, and it is about 30-60 million years  Is old.

 New research led by the University Space Association (USRA) has revealed that the impact of lava on the planet Venus may be a few years old, information has been published by Science Advance, researchers suggest that Venus is also today volcanic  Form, and is the only planet in our solar system on Earth, where volcanic eruptions are present.

 Now the question is, whether Venus is actually active even today, if it is, then for researchers, there is a need to understand the inner parts of the planets better.  Scientist of the University Space Research Association (USRA), Dr. Justin Filiberto, says that if we can study how the planets cool, and why Earth, Venus is an active volcano, if talking about Mars  So, volcano is not active on Mars. Researchers must be prepared for future missions, be able to see these flows and changes on the surface of the planet Venus, and provide solid evidence that volcanoes are active on the planet.

 In the 1990s, NASA sent a Magellan spacecraft to the planet Venus on May 4, 1989, to map Venus's surface and measure planetary gravity, data from the Magellan spacecraft show that volcanoes in our neighboring planet Venus  And extensive lava flows.  

 The European Space Agency sent the Venus Express spacecraft to the planet Venus to study Venus, it was released in November 2005, and it arrived on Venus in April 2006, and it has just continued science data from Venus's polar orbit. Sending, the Venus Express studied the infrared light emanating from the surface of Venus, during the orbit of Venus, and again on Venus on the volcano  Shed new light, new data allowed scientists to identify fresh versus altered lava flows on Venus's surface. Researchers were previously not well known for the age of lava eruptions and volcanoes on Venus, as the change rate of fresh lava was not well constrained.

 To understand the changing atmosphere of Venus, and the reaction of minerals changing over time, Dr. Filiberto and his colleagues recreated the warm caustic atmosphere of Venus in the laboratory, and their experimental results have shown,  That an abundant mineral in basalt- olivine reacts rapidly with the atmosphere, and it dissolves with iron oxide minerals in a few weeks  It goes.

 Dr. Filiberto says that it may take a few years to understand this change in Minorology from the observation data of the Venus Express, new results by Dr. Filiberto and coauthors show that lava flows on the planet Venus are very low, And a truly active volcano on the planet Venus.

NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope Reveals New Details of the Orion Nebula’s Star Formation.

By Surendra Uikey
  This NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope image captures the Orion Nebula (Messier 42, M42), the nearest star-forming region to Earth, located about 1,500 light-years away. A captivating new image captured by the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope offers an extraordinary look into the Orion Nebula, the nearest massive star-forming region to Earth. Located just 1,500 light-years away, this nebula is visible to the naked eye below the three stars forming Orion's "belt." The region is home to hundreds of newborn stars, including two protostars featured in the image: HOPS 150 and HOPS 153. Named after the Herschel Orion Protostar Survey, conducted with ESA’s Herschel Space Observatory, the protostars HOPS 150 and HOPS 153 provide key insights into the early stages of star formation. HOPS 150, visible in the upper-right corner of the image, is a binary star system, with two young stars orbiting one another. These protostars are surrounded by small dusty disks, where material from th...

New Method Detects Small Asteroids in Main Belt, Offering Insight for Planetary Defense.

By Surendra Uikey
  An international team of physicists, led by MIT researchers, has developed a groundbreaking method to detect small asteroids, as small as 10 meters in diameter, within the main asteroid belt. These space rocks, ranging from the size of a bus to several stadiums wide, were previously undetectable using traditional methods. The team's discovery, detailed in a paper published in Nature, could significantly improve tracking of potential asteroid impactors, aiding planetary defense efforts. The main asteroid belt, located between Mars and Jupiter, is home to millions of asteroids, but until now, scientists could only detect objects roughly a kilometer in diameter. The new detection technique, which utilizes the "shift and stack" method, is able to identify much smaller asteroids, even those far from Earth, enabling more precise orbital tracking. This breakthrough is crucial for planetary defense, allowing scientists to spot near-Earth objects that may pose a threat in the fu...

XSPECT Payload Successfully Validates Performance through Cas A Observation.

By Surendra Uikey
  The XSPECT instrument captures a detailed spectrum of the supernova remnant Cassiopeia A (Cas A), encompassing both the Galactic Cosmic Ray (GCR) background and the Cosmic X-ray Background (CXB). The flux observed above 8 keV predominantly results from the combined contributions of CXB and GCR. The presented spectrum, depicted in the figure, is derived from a cumulative integration time of 20 ksec, collected across multiple orbits, providing valuable insights into the X-ray emissions associated with Cas A. XPoSat, India's inaugural X-ray polarimetric mission, has achieved a significant as the XSPECT instrument captures its initial observations from the Cassiopeia A (Cas A) supernova remnant. Launched on January 1, 2024, XPoSat is equipped with two co-aligned instruments, namely the POLarimeter Instrument in X-rays (POLIX) and X-ray SPECtroscopy and Timing (XSPECT). This mission is designed to unravel the mysteries of cosmic X-ray sources. While POLIX focuses on examining X-ray po...
