The volcanoes of Venus are still active today, with at least 37 areas showing recent activity, a new 3D model reveals. This simulation from the University of Maryland and the Institute of Geophysics ...

When scientists recently took a closer look at archival images of the surface of Venus, they discovered something new: evidence of volcanic activity on Earth's "twin." The NASA Magellan spacecraft ...

Convection processes beneath Venus' scorched surface may help explain the planet's many volcanoes, a new study reports. Venus, the hottest planet in the solar system, is estimated to have 85,000 ...

A vast underground tunnel known as a lava tube, formed from ancient volcanic activity, was recently discovered lurking beneath Venus.

Venus is often called Earth's "sister planet" because of their similarities in size, mass, and composition. Both are rocky worlds that formed about the same time in the inner solar system; however, ...

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 University in ...

Venus is our toxic twin. Its chemical makeup, size and density are similar to our world’s, although its hellish temperatures can melt lead, and its atmosphere is rife with sulfuric acid. But it may be ...

For the first time in human history, we have rudimentary planetary defense technology that could someday prevent a major asteroid impact. However, a new study from NASA's Goddard Institute for Space ...
