New simulations suggest that up to four of the solar system's rocky planets, including Earth and a long-lost world, once ...

It may look like Earth’s twin, but Venus is keeping secrets. New research suggests that dozens—possibly hundreds—of asteroids are quietly orbiting the Sun in sync with Venus.

"We believe that continuing such activities will further expand our horizon in the field of planetary science." ...

The recent fall to Earth of a failed Soviet Venus probe from the 1970s has become a detective story of sorts. Different computer models were used to predict the reentry.

During the early days of our solar system, giant impacts were common occurrences. Earth likely experienced such an impact ...

The Brief A piece of a failed 1972 Soviet Venus probe is expected to reenter Earth around May 10. The object could fall anywhere between 52° North and 52° South, covering a wide area.

A recent study has cast a concerning spotlight on a previously underestimated celestial threat: asteroids co-orbiting Venus. While NASA and other space agencies have diligently tracked near-Earth ...

Yet, despite using the JWST's sensitive Near-Infrared Spectrometer, or NIRSpec, astronomers led by Piaulet-Ghorayeb found no ...

“There is a range of orbits with eccentricities lower than 0.38 for which Venus’ co-orbitals can pose a collisional hazard to Earth,” scientists wrote.

Six planets will appear together in the morning sky this month, marking the final “planetary parade” of the year, according to NASA.

Venus currently hosts 20 known co-orbitals, including "Trojan" asteroids and the peculiar quasi-moon Zoozve. These objects, each exceeding 460 feet in diameter, could devastate urban areas if they ...
