Venus' tesserae may have formed through processes very similar to those that produced Earth's earliest continents, billions of years ago. "The study challenges our understanding of how planets ...

Venus' wrinkled, deformed "tesserae" terrain may be ancient impact features the size of continents, a new study suggests.

Scientists have found evidence parts of Venus's surface move around like pieces of continent on Earth. And while this activity is probably not driven by plate tectonics, as on Earth, it could be a ...

The goal will be to study the atmosphere and the land below, and NASA has an interesting location to target: what is believed to be an ancient continent. DAVINCI (Deep Atmosphere Venus ...

NASA's DAVINCI mission set for the early 2030s aims to explore Venus’ Alpha Regio, presumed to be an ancient continent, by capturing high-resolution images beneath the planet’s thick clouds.

Due to launch in the early 2030s, NASA's DAVINCI mission will investigate whether Venus—a sweltering world wrapped in an atmosphere of noxious gases—once had oceans and continents like Earth.

Scientists believe these features could be comparable to continents on Earth and could suggest that Venus has plate tectonics. The second mission, Veritas (Venus Emissivity, Radio Science ...

NASA’s Parker Solar Probe reaches final Venus flyby on Nov. 6, preparing for a record-setting close approach to the sun.
