Researchers have discovered what may be a long-hidden record of ancient impact craters on Venus, shedding light on a planetary history distinct from Earth's.
Venus and Earth seem like twins who, through dramatically different circumstances and choices, ended up leading dramatically different lives.
A new analysis of data collected on Venus more than 30 years ago suggests the planet may currently be volcanically active.
A new study details dissociative recombination, which may have led to Venus losing its water.
BepiColombo made two flybys of Venus on its journey to Mercury. The spacecraft found carbon and oxygen escaping into space in a previously unexplored region of Venus’ magnetosphere.
Researchers have made the first direct detection of atomic oxygen in the atmosphere of Venus. Some say it builds the case the planet was more hospitable in the past.
A recent study suggests that Venus, typically viewed as a fiery wasteland, may have experienced Earth-like plate tectonics in its distant past.
In a recent paper a UK physicist uses past missions and recent findings to encourage the importance of searching for life in the atmosphere of the solar system's most inhospitable planet, Venus.
US scientists say they've found evidence of a volcanic eruption in data captured 30 years ago by the Magellan spacecraft.
New research suggests that water never condensed and that, consequently, oceans never formed on the surface of Venus. One of the main reasons for this is the clouds that form preferentially on the night side of the planet.
The widely-publicized detection of phosphine gas on Venus – a possible "biosignature" suggesting the hellish planet could have living microbes in its clouds – was probably caused by sulfur gas.
A team of researchers claims they've discovered the amino acid glycine in Venus' atmosphere. There are about 500 known amino acids, but only 20 are present in the genetic code. Glycine is the simplest of them.
An international team of scientists have recently found the abundances of phosphine in the Venusian cloud decks. It might - just might - be a biosignature.
A new study identified 37 recently active volcanic structures on Venus. The study provides some of the best evidence yet that Venus is still a geologically active planet.
NASA has selected four possible planetary science missions for further evaluation, two focused on Venus, one on Jupiter's volcanic moon Io and one on Neptune's icy moon Triton. Final selections will be made next year.
