A new study of lava flows reveals that Venus may have once had liquid water like the Earth.


A new study of Ovda flactus lava flows on Venus has been pointed out by scientists, which has been found in the study to be composed of basaltic lava. And this finding undermines the notion that Venus may have once had liquid water like the Earth, its oceans may have been like the Earth. 

In previous studies by scientists, it was suggested that Venus was once warm in the early days And was wet, it must have been based on the chemistry of its atmosphere and the presence of the highlands. Their highlands would be made of granular rock, just like the continents of the Earth, because oceans needed water to form.

Scientists at the Lunar and Planetary Institute (LPI), including Northland College undergraduate student intern Wroblowski, found in their study that a volcanic flow on the Ovada Regio Highlands Plateau of Venus is made up of basalt lava, as soon as liquid water  Like Earth with an ancient ocean. The Ovida Flextus lava flow of the planet Earth is again called by LPI team  And mapped using data. Scientists study found that this flow is not granular, as expected from its location, but Venus is more likely to be made of basalt rock than it can form with or without water. 

A new map and results of the planet Venus have been published in the Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets.We know very little about the surface of the common Tor Venus, the team member Dr.Alan Triman, a University Space Research Association (USRA) scientist, says at the Lunar and Planetary Institute (LPI), that if Ovada Regio Highlands is composed of basaltic rock, it might have been squeezed to its current heights by internal forces, Possibly just like mountains that originate from plate tectonics on Earth.

JWST Just Dropped a Space Banger – Meet HH 30, the Cosmic Baby Star with an Attitude!

  ๐Ÿš€Hubble Found It, Webb Flexed on It! NASA, ESA, and CSA’s James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) just hit us with another mind-blowing “Picture of the Month,” and this time, it’s all about HH 30 —a baby star with a dramatic flair! Sitting pretty in the Taurus Molecular Cloud, this young star is rocking a protoplanetary disc that’s literally glowing with potential future planets. And oh, it’s got some serious jets and a disc wind to show off!   ๐Ÿ’ซ What’s So Special About HH 30? Ever heard of Herbig-Haro objects? No? Cool, neither did most of us until now! These are glowing gas clouds marking the tantrums of young stars as they spit out jets of gas at supersonic speeds. HH 30 is one of them, but with a twist—it’s a prototype edge-on disc, meaning we get a front-row seat to the magic of planet formation!   ๐Ÿ“ก Webb, Hubble & ALMA—The Ultimate Space Detective Team.   To break down HH 30’s secrets, astronomers went full detective mode using:   ✔️...

Solar Storm Shocker: Earth Gets a Cosmic Makeover with Two New Radiation Belts!

  The May 2024 solar storm formed two new radiation belts between the Van Allen Belts, with one containing protons, creating a unique composition never observed before. Picture this: May 2024, the Sun throws a massive tantrum, sending a solar storm hurtling toward Earth. The result? Stunning auroras light up the skies, GPS systems go haywire, and—wait for it—Earth gets two brand-new *temporary* radiation belts! That’s right, our planet just got a cosmic upgrade, thanks to the largest solar storm in two decades. And no, this isn’t a sci-fi movie plot—it’s real science, folks!   Thanks to NASA’s Colorado Inner Radiation Belt Experiment (CIRBE) satellite, scientists discovered these new belts, which are like Earth’s Van Allen Belts’ quirky cousins. Published on February 6, 2025, in the *Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics*, this discovery is a game-changer for space research, especially for protecting satellites and astronauts from solar storm shenanigans. ...

NASA/ESA Hubble Telescope Captures Image of Supernova to Aid Distance Measurements.

  The Hubble Space Telescope has recently captured a striking image of a supernova-hosting galaxy, located approximately 600 million light-years away in the constellation Gemini. This image, taken about two months after the discovery of supernova SN 2022aajn, reveals a bright blue dot at the center, signifying the explosive event. Although SN 2022aajn was first announced in November 2022, it has not yet been the subject of extensive research. However, Hubble's interest in this particular supernova lies in its classification as a Type Ia supernova, a type that is key to measuring cosmic distances. Type Ia supernovae occur when a star's core collapses, and they are particularly useful for astronomers because they have a predictable intrinsic brightness. No matter how far away a Type Ia supernova is, it emits the same amount of light. By comparing its observed brightness to this known luminosity, astronomers can calculate how far away the supernova — and its host galaxy — are from...
