When scientists recently took a closer look at archival images of the surface of Venus, they discovered something new: evidence of volcanic activity on Earth's "twin." The NASA Magellan spacecraft ...

Convection processes beneath Venus' scorched surface may help explain the planet's many volcanoes, a new study reports. Venus, the hottest planet in the solar system, is estimated to have 85,000 ...

A collapsed lava tube detected in 30-year-old radar data from Venus may be part of a much wider network of underground caves.

A vast underground tunnel known as a lava tube, formed from ancient volcanic activity, has been discovered Venus.

The crust of volcanically active Venus could be churning with convection currents just like the Earth's mantle. This is the conclusion of researchers from the Washington University in St. Louis, who ...

Scientists may have finally cracked the recipe behind Venus' giant pancakes. Venus is famous for its "pancake domes" — steep-sided volcanoes that rise from the planet's surface like circular welts. A ...

A new study suggests the planet’s iconic domes owe their strange shape to both thick lava and a flexible surface. Reading time 2 minutes Venus is home to some of the weirdest volcanoes in the solar ...

Venus — a hot planet pocked with tens of thousands of volcanoes — may be even more geologically active near its surface than previously thought. New calculations by researchers at Washington ...

Venus is our toxic twin. Its chemical makeup, size and density are similar to our world’s, although its hellish temperatures can melt lead, and its atmosphere is rife with sulfuric acid. But it may be ...
