The surface of Venus is a hellscape with temperatures hot enough to melt lead, but some regions of its atmosphere high over the surface remain cool enough to harbor ice and birth ghostly clouds. When ...

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 ...

Radar images of the surface of Venus appear to show fresh lava flows, suggesting active volcanoes on the planet. Scientists from Italy's International Research School of Planetary Sciences wrote in an ...

A team of astronomers has found that Venus has never been habitable, despite decades of speculation that our closest planetary neighbor was once much more like Earth than it is today. A team of ...
