For decades, Venus, often dubbed “Earth’s twin,” has been depicted as a barren, inhospitable world, its surface locked in an unchanging, oven-hot state. Yet, recent data from NASA’s Magellan orbiter ...
A European spacecraft orbiting Venus captured high-resolution images of gravity waves in the fast-moving clouds whirring above Earth's nearest neighbor. The ripples could help scientists ...
Gravity Waves Might Be Lighting Up Venus' Atmosphere Nothing else about the planet's atmosphere makes sense, so sure, why not? NASA ...
A massive bow-shaped bulge stretching about 10,000-km (6,214-miles) was spotted on the surface of Venus by Japan's Akatsuki probe last December. Scientists believe that this strange bulge may be ...
"This is the first time that positively charged carbon ions have been observed escaping from Venus' atmosphere," researcher Lina Hadid said.
Mysterious features on the surface of Venus might suggest that there is activity under its surface, scientists have suggested ...
A reappraisal of decades-old data suggests that strange circular formations on Venus could be volcanic “rings of fire” created by ongoing geological activity ...
NASA has captured the first lighted images of Venus from space, giving us a better look at the Earth's twin.
