Venus may have remained temperate and potentially habitable for most of its history—then water-thin carbonatite lava carved vast channels, including one stretching 6,800 kilometres, and released enough CO₂ to help transform the planet into the inferno we see today
Venus carries what look, at first glance, like river systems across its volcanic plains. They meander, divide around…

Scientists have confirmed that a pit in the Moon’s Sea of Tranquillity opens into an underground cave, probably an ancient lava tube. Only tens of metres have been mapped, but separate modelling suggests that lunar gravity could support tubes kilometres wide—natural shelters large enough, in theory, to house entire settlements.
A dark opening in Mare Tranquillitatis has been visible in spacecraft images for years. What lay beyond its…
