The northern hemisphere of Venus, as captured in radar data from NASA’s Magellan spacecraft. Some of the circular features seen in this image are coronae, mysterious formations that recent studies ...

New research may have brought Earth and its inhospitable, "evil twin" even closer together. Today, Venus seems to lack the tectonic activity seen on Earth, but surface features like faults, folds and ...

A new analysis of Venus’ surface shows evidence of tectonic motion in the form of crustal blocks that have jostled against each other like broken chunks of pack ice. The movement of these blocks could ...

The geology of Venus presents a complex interplay between extensive volcanic activity, mantle dynamics and tectonic deformation. Recent studies have revealed that, in the absence of Earth‐like plate ...

Venus, often referred to as Earth’s “twin” due to its similar size and proximity, has long been dismissed as a potential candidate for habitability due to its harsh surface conditions. However, recent ...

What can 30-year-old data teach scientists about Venus’ geological activity? This is what a recent study published in Science Advances hopes to address as an international team of researchers ...

Instead of being the exclusive outcome of internal geology, they may also bear the imprints of cosmic guests—microscopic traces of metal dusting the uppermost layers and influencing chemistry for ...

New research strengthens the case that Venus, long considered a geologically stagnant world, may be more Earth-like in its internal dynamics than once believed. Scientists have uncovered fresh ...

Imagine Earth. Now fill the skies with thick, Sun-obscuring clouds of sulfuric acid; boil off the oceans by cranking up the temperature to 900 degrees Fahrenheit (nearly 500 degrees Celsius), and ...
