金星上的熔巖河揭示了一顆火山活動更加活躍的行星

在地球上目睹火山爆發時的血紅色火焰令人難忘。但在另一顆行星上看到熔巖從火山中噴涌而出，更

是非同尋常。這幾乎就是科學家們在金星上發現的情況：在這個地球鄰居的行星表面上，兩股巨大的熔巖

流從兩個不同的角落里蜿蜒流出。

這一發現已發表在《自然-天文學》(NatureAstronomy)期刊上。這項研究的作者達維德?蘇爾卡內塞

（DavideSulcanese）說："當你看到這樣的場景時，第一反應就是‘哇‘。"

地球和金星誕生于同一時期。兩者由相同的原始物質構成，年齡和大小也相同。那么，為什么地球是

一個充滿水和生命的天堂，而金星卻是一個天上下酸雨的焦土地獄呢？

火山噴發改變了行星的大氣層。有一種理論認為，很久以前，幾次世界末日般的火山噴發引發了失控

的溫室效應，使得金星從一個氣候溫和、水源豐富的世界變成了干旱的沙漠。

為了更好地了解金星上的火山活動，科學家們希望能夠捕捉到火山噴發的畫面。然而，盡管人們知道

金星上遍布火山，但不透明的大氣層讓人們無法看到火山爆發。

20世紀90年代，美國國家航空航天局（NASA）使用穿透云層的雷達勘測了金星的大部分區域。但在

當時，圖像分辨率較低，要發現新鮮的熔巖十分困難。

如今，借助現代軟件，科學家們發現了兩處清晰可見的熔巖流。
