Evidence of volcanic activity on Venus has been confirmed for the first time. An empty lava tube beneath the planet’s surface ...

Giant underground lava tunnels have been discovered on Venus, our inhospitable, cloud-wrapped neighbor. Their huge size is peculiar and has forced scientists to discard their pet theories on how ...

Venus has long been cast as the solar system’s hellscape, a world of crushing pressure and searing heat where spacecraft survive for minutes, not days. Now a new line of research suggests that beneath ...

Despite its similarities to Earth (sometimes called Earth’s evil twin), there’s still a lot we don’t know about Venus. A thick atmosphere crackles with lightning and swirls with acid rain, obscuring ...

We’ve known for quite some time that molten rock gouged enormous tunnels into the surface of the Earth, the Moon, and Mars. In fact, scientists have proposed that the vast lava tubes under the surface ...

Numerical modeling suggests structurally stable lava tubes may exist beneath Venus, guiding future radar, imaging, and ...

This artist’s concept of the large Quetzalpetlatl Corona located in Venus’ southern hemisphere depicts active volcanism and a subduction zone, where the foreground crust plunges into the planet’s ...

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 ...
