Study Narrows James Webb Space Telescope Targets With the first paper compiling all known information about planets like Venus beyond our solar system, scientists are…
Study Narrows James Webb Space Telescope Targets With the first paper compiling all known information about planets like Venus beyond our solar system, scientists are…
In a first, scientists have seen direct evidence of active volcanism on Earth’s twin, setting the stage for the agency’s VERITAS mission to investigate. Direct…
Inspired by the Renaissance vision of Leonardo da Vinci, NASA is presently preparing its scientific return to Venus’ atmosphere and surface with a mission known…
The research uses archival NASA data to show that Venus may be losing heat from geologic activity in regions called coronae, possibly like early tectonic…
Venus is considered Earth’s twin in many ways. However, recent observations made with the Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy (SOFIA) have now made one difference…
Venus may have been transformed from a temperate and wet world to the acidic hothouse it is today with help from vast volcanic activity lasting…
EnVision, a project of the European Space Agency (ESA), is a mission to Venus that will perform optical, spectral and radar mapping of Earth’s sister…
Scheduled to launch in the late 2020s, NASA’s DAVINCI mission will investigate the origin, evolution, and present state of
Last year, NASA selected the DAVINCI mission as part of its Discovery program. It will investigate the origin, evolution, and present state of Venus in…
How much do you know about the planet Venus? Venus resembles the planet earth so much they’re called sister planets because of similarity of size…
The planet’s atmosphere explains the gravity of the situation. Venus, Earth’s sister planet, would likely not rotate, if not for its soupy, fast-moving atmosphere. Instead,…
Despite being close to Earth and having nearly the same size, Venus is another world. Underneath its thick mantle of acid sulfuric clouds, at the…
Fine-tuning the James Webb Space Telescope, a different view of Venus, and the science on an upcoming space station resupply mission … a few of…
NASA’s Parker Solar Probe has taken its first visible light images of the surface of Venus from space. Smothered in thick clouds, Venus’ surface is…
SOFIA recently completed a new set of observations of Venus to study the chemical composition of the planet’s atmosphere. Observing Venus was particularly challenging. Venus…
New modeling suggests fast collisions could explain why Earth is habitable while Venus is not. New modeling suggests large, high-speed impacts during Venus’ early history…
A new study shows it’s theoretically possible. The hypothesis could be tested soon with proposed Venus-bound missions. It’s hard to imagine a more inhospitable world…
Report led by MIT scientists details a suite of privately-funded missions to hunt for life on Earth’s sibling planet. With multiple rovers landed and a…
