Artists concept of volcanic activity on the surface of Venus
Artists concept of volcanic activity on the surface of Venus. Based upon analysis of the number and distribution of impact craters across the whole of Venus, the entire surface appears to be the same age: about 500 million years old. This is an astonishing result since 500 million years is young for a planet in our solar system. Like the Earth, Venus is thought to be about 4.5 billion years old. This suggests that 500 million years ago Venus completely resurfaced itself, turned itself inside out. What caused such a cataclysmic event, or if indeed this is what really happened, remains a mystery

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an artist's concept of volcanic activity on the enigmatic surface of Venus. Through a meticulous analysis of impact craters across the entire planet, scientists have made a remarkable discovery: Venus appears to be uniformly 500 million years old. This revelation is astonishing considering that our solar system's planets are generally much older, with Earth estimated to be around 4.5 billion years old. The implications are mind-boggling - it suggests that half a billion years ago, Venus underwent a cataclysmic event that completely transformed its landscape and turned itself inside out. The exact cause behind this extraordinary phenomenon remains shrouded in mystery, leaving astronomers and planetary geologists intrigued and eager for answers. In this mesmerizing artwork, we witness towering cinder cones spewing plumes of ash into the atmosphere while smoke billows from erupting volcanoes dotting the rugged terrain below. Steep slopes and rocky cliffs create a visually stunning backdrop against which this extraterrestrial spectacle unfolds. As we gaze upon this imaginative representation, we can't help but ponder the evolution and creation of such a volatile volcanic landscape on another world millions of miles away from us. Walter Myers' digital masterpiece transports us to an otherworldly realm where science fiction merges with scientific curiosity, inviting us to contemplate the mysteries hidden within our vast universe.
