But what would be considered as “ground truth” on a planet where the ground is not visible by the cameras? On Venus, geometry ...

Venus is one of the most hostile worlds in the solar system, with crushing pressure and surface temperatures hot enough to ...

Thanks to ESA’s Venus Express data, scientists obtained the first large-area temperature maps of the southern hemisphere of the inhospitable, lead-melting surface of Venus. The new data may help with ...

Despite its similarities to Earth (sometimes called Earth’s evil twin), there’s still a lot we don’t know about Venus. A thick atmosphere crackles with lightning and swirls with acid rain, obscuring ...

It's possible that Venus and Earth once simultaneously existed as pleasant worlds hosting mild temperatures and oceans. Then, something went awry. In new research, planetary scientists simulated how ...

Venus — a hot planet pocked with tens of thousands of volcanoes — may be even more geologically active near its surface than previously thought. New calculations by researchers at Washington ...

Numerical modeling suggests structurally stable lava tubes may exist beneath Venus, guiding future radar, imaging, and geophysical searches by upcoming planetary missions.

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. When you purchase through ...
