But actually being Able to document changes that have occurred in recent years is difficult to document a a it a reasonable to anticipate that there might be somewhere on the planet Volcano logical activity occurring on the scale of Days to years to tens of years. But really we have no Way of detecting that  with no water on the hellish 900-Degrcc planet erosion appears to be remarkably minimal giving scientists a Chance to look at Large features that might otherwise be destroyed Over time. But engineers said they have been unable to figure out what twice knocked the spacecraft out of Contact with Earth last month. Even though one of Magellan a attitude control computer systems has been declared unusable until a fix is devised the spacecraft was ordered to resume mapping operations sept. 1.
