The landers are thought to have landed on plains whose radar signature is that of basaltic lava flows. These constitute about 80% of the surface of Venus. Some locations show high reflectivity consistent with unweathered basalt, indicating basaltic volcanism within the last 2.5 million years.<sup id="cite_ref-gilmore-etal-2017_104-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-gilmore-etal-2017-104"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>104<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="Mars">Mars</h4></div> <p>Basalt is also a common rock on the surface of <a href="/wiki/Mars" title="Mars">Mars</a>, as determined by data sent back from the planet's surface,<sup id="cite_ref-grotzinger-2013_105-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-grotzinger-2013-105"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>105<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> and by <a href="/wiki/Martian_meteorite" title="Martian meteorite">Martian meteorites</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-106" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-106"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>106<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-107" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-107"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>107<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="Vesta">Vesta</h4></div> <p>Analysis of <a href="/wiki/Hubble_Space_Telescope" title="Hubble Space Telescope">Hubble Space Telescope</a> images of Vesta suggests this <a href="/wiki/Asteroid" title="Asteroid">asteroid</a> has a basaltic crust covered with a brecciated <a href="/wiki/Regolith" title="Regolith">regolith</a> derived from the crust.<sup id="cite_ref-binzel-etal-1997_108-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-binzel-etal-1997-108"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>108<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> Evidence from Earth-based telescopes and the <a href="/wiki/Dawn_(spacecraft)" title="Dawn (spacecraft)">Dawn mission</a> suggest that Vesta is the source of the <a href="/wiki/HED_meteorite" title="HED meteorite">HED meteorites</a>, which have basaltic characteristics.<sup id="cite_ref-mittlefehldt-2015_109-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-mittlefehldt-2015-109"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>109<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> Vesta is the main contributor to the inventory of basaltic asteroids of the main Asteroid Belt.<sup id="cite_ref-110" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-110"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>110<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="Io">Io</h4></div> <p>Lava flows represent a major volcanic terrain on <a href="/wiki/Io_(moon)" title="Io (moon)">Io</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-Keszthelyi2001_111-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Keszthelyi2001-111"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>111<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> Analysis of the <i>Voyager</i> images led scientists to believe that these flows were composed mostly of various compounds of molten sulfur.
