Abstract
- The article reports that researchers are looking into the seismic event that paved Venus over with lava 500 million years ago. The European Space Agency's Venus Express orbiter will detect low-frequency sound waves produced by quakes and amplified by the planet's dense atmosphere. Identifying venusquakes could help researchers determine the ages of various features on the planet.
