Imagine a place where temperatures soar to over 450°C, where thick clouds of toxic sulfuric acid rain down, and the ...

Venus, the second planet from the Sun, has long fascinated scientists and storytellers alike. Once imagined as a lush, ...

Instead, the only photos of Venus’ surface we have to look at were captured by Soviet-era spacecraft over 40 years ago. Venus is the second planet from the Sun, residing right between Earth and ...

The very first visible-light images of Venus' surface from space have been captured by NASA's Parker Solar Probe, and it could help researchers piece together the mysteries of the distant planet.

“The surface of Venus, even on the nightside, is about 860 degrees,” said lead study author Brian Wood, a physicist at the Naval Research Laboratory, in a statement.

This radar image captured by the Magellan probe shows a region on Venus’ surface approximately 180 miles across, and located in a vast plain to the south of Aphrodite Terra.

It's been more than 20 years since scientists got a good look at the surface of Venus, but revisiting old data still has plenty to offer. For example, new research finds that its surface isn't as ...

With surface temperatures reaching a bewildering 867 degrees Fahrenheit (464 degrees Celsius), even the most hardened landers can't survive for long. But a new idea, called the Calypso Venus Scout ...

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.

Much of the brittle, upper crust of Venus is broken into fragments that jostle and move—and the slow churning of Venus' mantle beneath the surface might be responsible. My colleagues and I arrived at ...

Much of the brittle, upper crust of Venus is broken into fragments that jostle and move – and the slow churning of Venus’ mantle beneath the surface might be responsible.

The surface of Venus is covered in coronae that are still active today. Vast fields of lava may regularly erupt, spewing liquid rock over vast … ...
