The Solar Orbiter has been observing the sun since 2021, but it recently went on a side trip to Venus which significantly tilted its orbit and gave it a good view of the sun's polar region. That is ...

However, a publication in Nature Communications proposes a new model based on rock density and melting cycles. Global view of Venus' surface centered at 180 degrees east longitude. Magellan radar ...

Things may be moving on Venus’ surface. In 1983, researchers discovered that the planet’s surface was speckled with strange, circular landforms. These rounded mountain belts, known as coronae ...

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 ...

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 ...

But latest research based on data collected 30 years ago suggests that Venus' surface is still actively changing, likely because of molten material rising beneath its crust. The new study ...

Mysterious features on the surface of Venus might suggest that there is activity under its surface, scientists have suggested. Almost circular features on the surface might suggest that it has ...

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or ...

But the researchers used advanced computer simulations — which created 3D spherical models of geologic activity on Venus— of how the hot rock convecting beneath the surface, called the mantle ...

WASHINGTON : Earth is an ocean world, with water covering about 71 per cent of its surface. Venus, our closest planetary neighbor, is sometimes called Earth's twin based on their similar size and ...

Astronomers have long debated whether Venus, which is extremely hot and inhospitable to life today, once had liquid-water oceans on its surface. A new study found very little water in the planet's ...
