TL;DR: New Voyager 2 images of Neptune reveal a windy planet characterized by bright clouds of methane ice suspended in an exceptionally clear atmosphere above a lower deck of hydrogen sulfide or ammonia ices, dominated by a large anticyclonic storm system that has been named the Great Dark Spot.
Journal ArticleDOI
Recent and episodic volcanic and glacial activity on Mars revealed by the High Resolution Stereo Camera

TL;DR: It is shown that calderas on five major volcanoes on Mars have undergone repeated activation and resurfacing during the last 20 per cent of martian history, with phases of activity as young as two million years, suggesting that the volcanoes are potentially still active today.
Journal ArticleDOI
The geology and geomorphology of the Venus surface as revealed by the radar images obtained by Veneras 15 and 16

TL;DR: A region-by-region condensed description of almost all of the area that was radar-photographed by Veneras 15 and 16 is presented in this paper, where the diversity of terrain was reduced to a discrete set from which a geological-morphological map was constructed.
Journal ArticleDOI
The geologic history of Venus: A stratigraphic view
TL;DR: In this article, the authors outline the major events in the geologic history of Venus determined by photogeological study of surface features, and describe the timing and duration of different events in terms of fractions of the mean surface age.
Journal ArticleDOI
Styles of tectonic deformations on Venus: Analysis of Venera 15 and 16 data
Alexander T. Basilevsky,A. A. Pronin,L. B. Ronca,V. P. Kryuchkov,A. L. Sukhanov,M. S. Markov +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that the ridge-and-groove structures on the surface of Venus are the result of tectonic deformation and the origin of the stresses could be drag of the lithosphere by asthenospheric currents or gravity-induced spreading of surface material over upwellings.
