How a cave was found in our solar system ?
For the first time astronomers found a giant volcanic cave on Venus. By reanalyzing radar images from NASA’S Magellan mission appears a hidden cave beneath Nyx mons.
The structure described sits on the western flank of Nyx mons about 362km wide.
In radar it looks like a dark pit surrounded by a chain of similar collapses ie. ”pit A”.
The radar waves enter a skylight , bounces along an underground tunnel and then scatter back to the spacecraft sensors, through which scientists could find a new exploration.
