Scientists have built the most detailed map volcanoes on Venus, which is also the most complete volcano map of all planets in the solar system.
The map reveals the locations and sizes of all 85,000 volcanic landforms discovered on Venus to date, and the scientists hope that it will help with the search for new active volcanoes on Earth's scorching planetary neighbor.

Is An Alien Mothership Already In Our Solar System? - MITechNews
Recently, a government-funded "thought experiment" imagining that several mysterious space objects are in actuality craft from interstellar travelers made international news.
But despite the breathless headlines talking about Pentagon researchers and Harvard astronomers telling the world of the dangers posed by an "alien mothership" in our solar system were intriguing, the actual report did not say we were being invaded—merely what, if we were, this might it look like.
