Numerical modeling suggests structurally stable lava tubes may exist beneath Venus, guiding future radar, imaging, and geophysical searches by upcoming planetary missions.

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 ...

Researchers have recently focused on intriguing geological formations on Venus, including peculiar structures on its surface that have captured scientific interest. As of September 30, 2025, these ...

Scientists trekked across Icelandic lava flows that served as stand-ins for Venus’s volcanic landscapes, testing tools and ...

New research may have brought Earth and its inhospitable, "evil twin" even closer together. Today, Venus seems to lack the tectonic activity seen on Earth, but surface features like faults, folds and ...

Venus, often called Earth’s twin, has long fascinated scientists with its extreme conditions. Despite being similar in size and structure, Venus remains an enigmatic world, with an atmosphere so thick ...

Vast, quasi-circular features on Venus’ surface may reveal that the planet has ongoing tectonics, according to new research based on data gathered more than 30 years ago by NASA’s Magellan mission. On ...

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 ...

The geology and surface processes of Venus continue to intrigue planetary scientists, revealing a dynamic world shaped by volcanic activity, tectonic forces and chemical weathering. Recent ...

On a flyby of Venus, NASA’s Parker Solar Probe captured the first visible light images of the cloudy planet’s surface from space, a new study reports. The nightside view of the extremely hot surface ...

Thanks to ESA’s Venus Express data, scientists obtained the first large-area temperature maps of the southern hemisphere of the inhospitable, lead-melting surface of Venus. The new data may help with ...
