Venus's reputation as a cautionary tale of an Earth Gone Bad may have been somewhat exaggerated. We've thought that, before ...

The northern hemisphere is displayed in this global view of the surface of Venus as seen by NASA Magellan spacecraft. This is a NASA Hubble Space Telescope ultraviolet-light image of the planet Venus, ...

Scientists now think there could be microscopic life floating in the clouds of Venus. Their theory is surprising, considering how inhospitable the surface of Venus is. But in the clouds ...

But the researchers used advanced computer simulations — which created 3D spherical models of geologic activity on Venus— of how the hot rock convecting beneath the surface, called the mantle ...

Life as we know it may never have had a chance on Venus, according to a new study. Astronomers in the UK analysed the Venusian atmosphere and concluded the planet's surface was probably too hot to ...

After the buzz around colonizing Mars, NASA presents another possibility—Venus. Bioshock Infinite inspires flying city design and architecture ...

The DAVINCI+ and VERITAS missions aim to respectively characterize Venus’ atmosphere and map its surface in unprecedented detail. This should provide us information about possible tectonic ...

Instead of a hydrogen-rich super-Earth, or a water world, the new data revealed concentrations of carbon-dioxide (CO 2) comparable to the levels found in the dense CO 2 atmosphere of Venus in our ...
