The outlook is promising for future long-term monitoring of planets across multiple wavelengths. Infrared imaging data from ...

"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.

"Being off even a little bit represents hundreds or thousands of kilometers in distance on the surface of the Earth." ...

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 ...

An artist’s impression of Gilese 12 b in orbit around its red dwarf host star. Image: NASA/JPL-Caltech/R. Hurt (Caltech-IPAC) A newly discovered exoplanet, with its surface temperature estimated ...

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.

Today, Venus seems to lack the tectonic activity seen on Earth, but surface features like faults, folds and volcanoes indicate the hellish planet — with intense temperatures hot enough to melt ...
