A new study reveals fresh signs of geological activity on Venus — clues that the planet's mysterious surface is still ...

Venus, known as Earth’s “sister planet,” is anything but hospitable. With its thick atmosphere, extreme pressure, and scorching heat, Venus has long been considered a lifeless world. However, recent ...

What scientists can lean from discovery of potential life on Venus 04:03. Radar images of the surface of Venus appear to show fresh lava flows, suggesting active volcanoes on the planet.

Earth and its "evil twin" Venus are very different today, with the latter lacking plate tectonics. New research indicates Venus may have been much more like our planet than we suspected.

While Venus has been studied less than Mars, new explorations are planned. NASA's planned DAVINCI mission will examine Venus during the 2030s from its clouds down to its surface using both flybys ...

A computer-generated 3D model of Venus' surface provided by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory shows the volcano Sif Mons which is exhibiting signs of ongoing activity, in this undated handout image.

A problem of determining attainable landing sites on the surface of Venus is an essential part of the Venera-D project aimed to explore the planet using a lander.

Most of Venus' surface is thought to be quite young — 200 million to 1 billion years old, compared with Mars' roughly 4 billion-year-old surface.

Mostly because Venus is super hot -- its surface averages 887 degrees Fahrenheit. ("Like an oven's self-cleaning cycle," Landis said.) There's no water. Ninety percent of the planet is volcanic flows.

The Venus flyby, which will be Parker's seventh and final flyby of the planet, will also allow NASA scientists to study it even more closely. During the probe's third Venus flyby in July 2020, its ...

The surface temperature on Venus is nearly 860 degrees Fahrenheit, which is hotter than most ovens, and the planet has a high-pressure carbon dioxide atmosphere.
