High-resolution computer simulations of Venusian rift valleys suggest these large structures might be geologically young and potentially still active, or recently ceased movement. This finding challenges the long-held view of Venus as a dormant planet. The evidence is significant for upcoming missions like ESA's EnVision, which will now have specific regions to target for closer examination of potential geological activity.
