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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

A group of researchers from the University of Trento discovered what seems to be an important part of Venus' volcanic history. It was confirmed that an underground lava tube has existed beneath the ...

Scientists at the University of Trento have uncovered the first direct evidence of a subsurface feature beneath Venus: a massive underground lava tube on the most volcanically active planet in the ...

The takeaway: Little is understood about the geology of Venus, and recent findings suggest that the planet's subsurface processes may not follow the same patterns observed elsewhere. Future missions ...
