One of the big differences between Venus and Earth is the lack of plate tectonics. While Earth's continents float on tectonic platesconstantly reshaping our worldVenus was previously thought to remain locked in a largely static crust with only occasional volcanic hotspots. But everything we thought we knew might be wrong! Researchers examining 30-year-old NASA Magellan spacecraft images have spotted what appears to be the smoking gun of tectonic activity on our hellish sister planet, potentially rewriting planetary science as we know it.
