New research may have brought Earth and its inhospitable, "evil twin" even closer together. Today, Venus seems to lack the tectonic activity seen on Earth, but surface features like faults, folds and ...

A research team led by geophysicists at UC San Diego's Scripps Institution of Oceanography provides an explanation for features that characterize the surface of the solar system's hottest planet.

On a flyby of Venus, NASA’s Parker Solar Probe captured the first visible light images of the cloudy planet’s surface from space, a new study reports. The nightside view of the extremely hot surface ...

Venus, often called Earth’s twin, has long fascinated scientists with its extreme conditions. Despite being similar in size and structure, Venus remains an enigmatic world, with an atmosphere so thick ...

Vast, quasi-circular features on Venus’ surface may reveal that the planet has ongoing tectonics, according to new research based on data gathered more than 30 years ago by NASA’s Magellan mission. On ...

Despite decades spent exploring our solar system, there's still a lot that humanity hasn't accomplished, and still a lot that we haven't properly explored. Chief among those things that still need ...

Venus is famously hot, due to an extreme greenhouse effect which heats its surface to temperatures as high as 450 degrees Celsius. The climate at the surface is oppressive; as well as being hot, the ...

Researchers scouring decades-old spacecraft data have found clear signs of recent volcanic activity on Venus. The findings, published in the journal Science, reveal not only that the planet's surface ...

The geology and surface processes of Venus continue to intrigue planetary scientists, revealing a dynamic world shaped by volcanic activity, tectonic forces and chemical weathering. Recent ...

Venus might be our neighbor in the solar system, but there’s a lot we still don’t know about the planet. That’s partly because of its high temperatures and atmospheric pressure which make it difficult ...
