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 ...

Venus is remarkably similar to Earth in size and mass. And although it is a hellish, inhospitable world today, it may once have been a temperate, ocean-covered planet like our own. Understanding ...

Vast, quasi-circular features on Venus's surface may reveal that the planet has ongoing tectonics, according to new research based on data gathered more than 30 years ago by NASA's Magellan mission.

According to NASA, Magellan used its radar to see through Venus's thick atmosphere and map the planet's surface, including its mountains and plains. At that time, scientists weren't aware of how ...

It was originally one of the Soviet Union's Venera series of probes intended to explore the planet Venus. However, shortly after launch on March 31, 1972 from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in what is ...

The planet Venus has completed a very rare passage across the face of the Sun - an event not witnessed since 1882. The so-called transit of Venus began at about 0620 BST (0520 GMT) with the planet's ...

Have a look at the infographic below of locations featured in Blue Planet, along with additional information on why these animals are so amazing. The cape fur seal featured in episode five of Blue ...

Researchers discovered, hidden in the archival data, new evidence that tectonic activity may be deforming the Venus's surface. This is another similarity the planet could be sharing with Earth ...

Simulations show Venus’ crust can crack or melt at about 65 kilometers thickness, often thinner in many places. “That is surprisingly thin, given conditions on the planet,” noted Justin Filiberto, ...

R esearchers 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 ...

COLORADO SPRINGS—Hypersonic propulsion startup Venus Aerospace successfully flight tested a ground-launched, rotating detonation rocket engine (RDRE)-powered vehicle from Spaceport America ...

In 2016, astronomers proposed that our solar system could harbor a stealthy ninth planet based on a strange clustering of orbits they detected among distant Kuiper Belt objects. They suggested the ...
