Scientists are proposing ways to explore Venus in the next decade and beyond by way of a host of advanced technologies, from ...

Space exploration often focuses on Mars, but Venus, our closest neighbor, holds many mysteries. Its surface is a true hell, ...

The DAVINCI+ and VERITAS missions aim to respectively characterize Venus’ atmosphere and map its surface in unprecedented detail. This should provide us information about possible tectonic ...

Scientists now think there could be microscopic life floating in the clouds of Venus. Their theory is surprising, considering how inhospitable the surface of Venus is. But in the clouds ...

After the buzz around colonizing Mars, NASA presents another possibility—Venus. Bioshock Infinite inspires flying city design and architecture ...

But the researchers used advanced computer simulations — which created 3D spherical models of geologic activity on Venus— of how the hot rock convecting beneath the surface, called the mantle ...

The pressure on Venus's surface is about 90 times that of Earth, equivalent to being deep in the ocean, making it inhospitable to most life forms. Venus is covered in clouds of sulfuric acid, which ...

Planets continue their nighttime shows, with eight visible at points during February, including Venus on Feb. 14.

The then-Soviet Union also took an interest in Venus, and beginning in the 1960s sent several probes to the planet. Its Venera 13 probe made history when it landed on the surface of Venus in 1982.

Instead of a hydrogen-rich super-Earth, or a water world, the new data revealed concentrations of carbon-dioxide (CO 2) comparable to the levels found in the dense CO 2 atmosphere of Venus in our ...
