"We did not expect Venus, with its scorching 860 degrees Fahrenheit (460 degrees Celsius) surface temperature and lack of plate tectonics, to possess such complex geological features," research ...

Japan’s Himawari weather satellites, designed to watch Earth, have quietly delivered a decade of infrared snapshots of Venus.

How can scientists study the meteorology of Venus from Earth since there are currently no missions to Venus? This is what a ...

On Venus, temperatures range from 820 to 900 degrees Fahrenheit (437 to 482 Celsius), making it much more difficult to explore than the significantly colder surface of Mars, which averages -81 ...

This computer-generated 3D model of Venus' surface shows the summit of Maat Mons, the volcano that is exhibiting signs of activity. A new study found one of Maat Mons' vents became enlarged and ...

By any measure, Venus is a hellscape: crushing pressures, a toxic atmosphere, and surface temperatures hot enough to melt lead. It's like a scene lifted straight from Dante's Inferno .

Venus is a searing inferno. Its surface temperatures are hot enough to melt lead.Its surface pressures, 75 times that of Earth at sea level, are enough to crush even the hardiest of metal objects ...

Computer simulated global view of Venus' northern hemisphere. NASA/JPL. As an Earth-sized rocky planet with a 1,000-degree-Fahrenheit surface temperature, Venus has long been dubbed our planet’s ...

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.
