Enigmatic structures on Venus could reveal unexpected activity. These formations, called coronae, are massive circular to ...

Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech A new study reveals overlooked signs of geological activity on Venus — clues that the planet's mysterious surface is still changing today. These signs, found in giant circular ...

The research supports the argument that Venus’ tectonics are active today, he says. What’s more, the demonstrated ability of computer simulations to predict what spacecraft may observe will be a boon ...

A groundbreaking study suggests Venus is not geologically dormant. Hot mantle plumes may be actively deforming their surface, reshaping mysterious coronae formations.

Researchers studying archival radar data from NASA’s Magellan mission have uncovered compelling signs that tectonic activity could still be shaping the surface of Venus today. The findings, published ...

Sure, we have pictures of Mars, but what about photos of Venus’ surface? How much have we explored that planet? The answer: not much at all. While you can find dozens, if not hundreds ...

By any measure, Venus is a hellscape: crushing pressures, a toxic atmosphere, and surface temperatures hot enough to melt lead. It's like a scene lifted straight from Dante's Inferno. It's "my ...

An old viral image of the surface of the planet Venus was making the rounds on Reddit on Monday morning. While the image is no doubt a stunning vision of the hostile, crushing conditions on one of ...

It’s not straightforward to study Venus’ surface because it has a dense atmosphere, including an unbroken cloud layer at a height of 45-65 km that is opaque to most wavelengths of radiation ...

What makes that fact so striking is how inhospitable a place Venus is now – crushing pressure, a toxic atmosphere and a surface temperature around 850 degrees Fahrenheit. So, what happened?

The planet is also shrouded in clouds of sulfuric acid. Because of its heat-trapping atmosphere, Venus has the hottest surface of any planet in the solar system. Related: The 10 most Earth-like ...

Out of 75 coronae examined, 52 showed signs of these underground forces still at work, hinting that tectonic activity may be more widespread on Venus than previously thought. A new study reveals ...
