Venus may be tearing itself apart from within
SMRTR summary
New 3D computer simulations from ETH Zurich suggest that Venus's massive rift valleys — some stretching 10,000 kilometers — may be far younger than scientists thought, pointing to an active, dynamic interior. The simulations show rifts widening up to 10 centimeters yearly, with raised ridges that match images from NASA's Magellan probe. These findings could guide future missions, including ESA's EnVision, launching in the early 2030s.
