A new study of Venus suggests that the deeply inhospitable world may be more like Earth than we thought. A new delve into archival data collected decades ago suggests that the alien planet has ongoing ...

Numerical modeling suggests structurally stable lava tubes may exist beneath Venus, guiding future radar, imaging, and geophysical searches by upcoming planetary missions.

But what would be considered as “ground truth” on a planet where the ground is not visible by the cameras? On Venus, geometry ...

Giant underground lava tunnels have been discovered on Venus, our inhospitable, cloud-wrapped neighbor. Their huge size is peculiar and has forced scientists to discard their pet theories on how ...

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 ...
