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 ...

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 ...

UNSPECIFIED - JANUARY 13: A volcano named Sapas Mons dominates this computer-generated view of the surface of Venus. Lava flows extend for hundreds of kilometers across the fractured plains shown in ...

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 volcanoes of Venus are still active today, with at least 37 areas showing recent activity, a new 3D model reveals. This simulation from the University of Maryland and the Institute of Geophysics ...

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 ...
