The bold question-askers at What If explore whether life could survive on Venus given its gravity is 91% that of Earth's.
NASA has released the closest-ever images of the Sun, captured just 3.8 million miles from its surface. Since its launch in 2018, the Parker Solar Probe has gradually circled closer to the sun, flying ...
The spacecraft uses the gravity of Venus as it swings around the planet, called a gravity assist, to help bend the probe's orbit and bring it closer and closer to the sun.
Houston-based Venus Aerospace flew a rotating detonation rocket engine last week, proving a key technology for the high-speed plane it's developing to fly from Los Angeles to Tokyo in two hours.
A reappraisal of decades-old data suggests that strange circular formations on Venus could be volcanic “rings of fire” created by ongoing geological activity ...
Mysterious features on the surface of Venus might suggest that there is activity under its surface, scientists have suggested ...
NASA’s Magellan mission is one of the most successful deep space missions of all time. The spacecraft provided the first and most complete image map of the surface of Venus, and the most comprehensive ...
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 ...
Venus is even less forgiving than scientists thought. NASA researchers have discovered that the planet has an electrical field so massive (five times larger than Earth's) that it creates a wind ...
NASA has captured the first lighted images of Venus from space, giving us a better look at the Earth's twin.
The final Venus gravity boost was wrapped up yesterday (Nov. 6), during which Parker got within 233 miles (375 kilometers) of the planet's surface.
