A recent study published in Nature Astronomy provides evidence for how the planet Venus might have once had plate tectonic activity at the same time as the ancient Earth. This study was led by ...
Scientists have identified a water-loss mechanism on Venus that could explain how the once water-rich world became completely parched. In the newly identified process, linked to a previously ...
New modeling suggests large, high-speed impacts during Venus’ early history could reconcile the differences between Venus and its rocky sister planet, Earth. The two planets are alike in many ways.
The mystery behind Venus' giant, crown-shaped geological features, known as coronae, may finally have an explanation: A "glass ceiling" in Venus' mantle is trapping heat and driving slow, shifting ...
A growing body of research suggests the planet Venus may have had an Earth-like environment billions of years ago, with water and a thin atmosphere. Yet testing such theories is difficult without ...
The surface of the Moon may be covered in rocks that came from Venus — potentially making it easy to study our hellish planetary neighbor. It's fairly speculative work, which the authors concede in ...
