Only one of the known Venus co-orbital asteroids follows a nearly circular orbit; the others move on more elongated paths that sometimes bring them closer to Earth, making them easier to detect.

Venus, our planet of wealth and worth, will be double dipping and twice shining this week as it moonlights and daybreaks as both the morning and evening star. Read on to learn more about the dual ...

A mock-up of the Soviet Union's Venera 7 probe, similar to Cosmos 482, a Venus probe that never made it past Earth's orbit and is set to reenter the atmosphere in May 2025 (left); and telescopic ...

Several missions have been proposed, including to the sun-Earth or sun-Venus L1 or L2 halo orbit. We know there are asteroids out there with considerable chances to strike Earth.

The Soviet Union's failed Kosmos 482 Venus probe will fall back to Earth from orbit soon, and it may well make it to the ground in one piece.

Launched in 1972 by the Soviet Union, the spacecraft known as Kosmos 482 was part of a series of missions bound for Venus. But this one never made it out of orbit around Earth, stranded there by a ...

A Soviet-era spacecraft meant to land on Venus in the 1970s is expected to soon plunge uncontrolled back to Earth. It’s too early to know where the half-ton mass of metal might come down or how ...

A 53-year-old Venus probe that failed to escape low Earth orbit is expected to make an uncontrolled reentry in the coming weeks. Built to withstand extreme heat, parts of the spacecraft could ...
