The JPL-led international team used the island as a stand-in for Venus to test radar technologies that will help uncover the planet’s ground truth. With…
NASA’s Parker Solar Probe used a Venus flyby to prepare for its upcoming record-setting orbits around the Sun, aiming to study the Sun’s mysteries as…
Models show Venus’ superheated core could produce extended volcanism and long-lived resurfacing. A Southwest Research Institute-led team has modeled the early impact history of Venus…
Why is Venus called Earth’s evil twin? Venus and Earth are sometimes called twins because they’re pretty much about the same size. Venus is almost…
What are some skywatching highlights in May 2023? Venus reaches its highest point in the evening sky for the year, while Jupiter disappears behind the…
Researchers analyzing Magellan spacecraft radar images discovered a changing volcanic vent on Venus, providing new evidence of active volcanism on the planet. Researchers have identified…
Experts from the Universities of Seville and of the Basque Country believe that discontinuity may be playing a very significant role in the acceleration of…
New Evidence That Venus Is Volcanically Active New research provides strong evidence of volcanic activity on Venus. The study identified a nearly 1-square-mile volcanic vent…
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 NASA’s Pioneer Venus in 1978 and…
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…
