Now, a new study argues the surface of Venus may still bear the geological scars of those long-lost seas.
In 2010, scientists waiting to use the William Herschel Telescope in the Canary Islands captured a brief 36 minutes of images of Venus. What they discovered, hidden in the data, was a series of planetwide concentric rings in the upper atmosphere.
A team of astronomers have discovered a giant volcanic cave hiding beneath the surface of Venus.
Using archival radar data from NASA’s Magellan spacecraft, planetary researchers have identified a vast underground conduit beneath the surface in the Venusian region of Nyx Mons.
Reexamining old data showed that the atmosphere on Venus is approximately 62% water trapped in hydrated compounds.
Dangerous rocks may co-orbit with Venus, but new research suggests only a space-based mission can prove it.
Data from NASA's Magellan mission suggests Venus could be more geologically active than previously thought. The data shows compelling evidence for ongoing tectonic activity shaping Venus's surface features.
An unexpected phenomenon called convection could help explain many of the volcanoes and other features of the Venusian landscape.
The main reason for space exploration is to search for life beyond Earth.
A team of astronomers has found that Venus has never been wet, despite decades of speculation that our closest planetary neighbour was once much more like Earth than it is today.
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.
