Over 30 years after its demise in the Venusian atmosphere, NASA’s Magellan mission recently provided new insight into tectonic processes on Venus. Scientists studied large, rounded geologic features called coronae by combining gravity measurements and topography data collected by Magellan throughout its mission. Not only does the new study shed light on Venus’ geology, but its methods also form a basis for analyzing the data collected by future missions to the planet.
