Numerical modeling suggests structurally stable lava tubes may exist beneath Venus, guiding future radar, imaging, and ...

The mystery behind Venus' giant, crown-shaped geological features, known as coronae, may finally have an explanation: A "glass ceiling" in Venus' mantle is trapping heat and driving slow, shifting ...

That's the message from a team of planetary scientists, who have explained Venus' apparent dearth of large craters by discovering that impacts could have produced the mysterious "tesserae" formations ...

Scientists trekked across Icelandic lava flows that served as stand-ins for Venus’s volcanic landscapes, testing tools and ...

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 ...

The geology and surface processes of Venus continue to intrigue planetary scientists, revealing a dynamic world shaped by volcanic activity, tectonic forces and chemical weathering. Recent ...

The takeaway: Little is understood about the geology of Venus, and recent findings suggest that the planet's subsurface processes may not follow the same patterns observed elsewhere. Future missions ...

An international team of researchers has found that some of the oldest terrain on Venus, known as tesserae, have layering that seems consistent with volcanic activity. The finding could provide ...

Venus — a hot planet pocked with tens of thousands of volcanoes — may be even more geologically active near its surface than previously thought. New calculations by researchers at Washington ...

Thanks to ESA’s Venus Express data, scientists obtained the first large-area temperature maps of the southern hemisphere of the inhospitable, lead-melting surface of Venus. The new data may help with ...

Venus looks like Earth’s twin at first glance, yet its rotation behaves like a cosmic prank. The planet spins backward, ...

Impact features on Venus may have been staring us in the face all along That's the message from a team of planetary scientists, who have explained Venus' apparent dearth of large craters by ...
