Venus is famously hot, due to an extreme greenhouse effect which heats its surface to temperatures as high as 450 degrees Celsius. The climate at the surface is oppressive; as well as being hot, the ...

The source of enigmatic circles on the surface of Earth’s closest relative in solar system revealed in new paper A research team led by geophysicists at UC San Diego’s Scripps Institution of ...

Despite decades spent exploring our solar system, there's still a lot that humanity hasn't accomplished, and still a lot that we haven't properly explored. Chief among those things that still need ...

A U.S.-based researcher created the image by editing original panoramic photos taken by a Soviet Union space probe with the programming language C++ and photo-editing software Adobe Photoshop. The ...

On a flyby of Venus, NASA’s Parker Solar Probe captured the first visible light images of the cloudy planet’s surface from space, a new study reports. The nightside view of the extremely hot surface ...

For decades, Venus, often dubbed “Earth’s twin,” has been depicted as a barren, inhospitable world, its surface locked in an unchanging, oven-hot state. Yet, recent data from NASA’s Magellan orbiter ...

The surface of Venus is scoured with strange, quasi-circular features called coronae. Unlike anything seen on Earth today, they can stretch hundreds of miles in diameter, even going past the thousand ...

Venus might be our neighbor in the solar system, but there’s a lot we still don’t know about the planet. That’s partly because of its high temperatures and atmospheric pressure which make it difficult ...

Venus, often called Earth’s “evil twin” planet, formed closer to the Sun and has since evolved quite differently from our own planet. It has a “runaway” greenhouse effect (meaning heat is completely ...

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 ...
