Numerical modeling suggests structurally stable lava tubes may exist beneath Venus, guiding future radar, imaging, and ...

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 ...

Venus has long been cast as the solar system’s hellscape, a world of crushing pressure and searing heat where spacecraft survive for minutes, not days. Now a new line of research suggests that beneath ...

This artist’s concept of the large Quetzalpetlatl Corona located in Venus’ southern hemisphere depicts active volcanism and a subduction zone, where the foreground crust plunges into the planet’s ...

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, have no ...

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 ...

Vast, quasi-circular features on Venus’ 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. On ...
