Venus, often written off as a geologically dead world, is far more active beneath its blistering surface than previously thought, according to new research. Unlike Earth, Venus lacks the geological ...

A recent NASA-funded study has unveiled groundbreaking details about Venus’ crust that challenge previous assumptions about the planet’s geological processes. Published in Nature Communications, this ...

The crust of volcanically active Venus could be churning with convection currents just like the Earth's mantle. This is the conclusion of researchers from the Washington University in St. Louis, who ...

Venus — a hot planet pocked with tens of thousands of volcanoes — may be even more geologically active near its surface than previously thought. New calculations by researchers at Washington ...

'If this is really an impact structure, it would be Venus' oldest and largest, giving us a rare glimpse into Venus' past and informing early planet processes.' When you purchase through links on our ...

Until recently, researchers believed only one planet in our solar system had plate tectonics: Earth. But in a recent study, Brown University researchers used atmospheric modeling to show that Venus, ...

The mystery behind Venus' giant, crown-shaped geological features, known as coronae, may finally have an explanation: A "glass ceiling" in Venus' mantle is trapping heat and driving slow, shifting ...

The surface of Venus is completely inhospitable for life: barren, dry, crushed under an atmosphere about 90 times the pressure of Earth’s and roasted by temperatures two times hotter than an oven. But ...

Beneath Venus's thick, cloudy atmosphere lies a unique feature: lots and lots of massive "pancakes." Dubbed pancake domes by the scientists who study them, these mysterious pieces of Venusian ...
