Out of 75 coronae examined, 52 showed signs of these underground forces still at work, hinting that tectonic activity may be more widespread on Venus than previously thought. When you purchase through ...

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 Parker Solar Probe managed to image Venus' surface in visible light. It's the first time we've seen the surface of the planet in optical wavelengths from orbit. Share on Facebook (opens in a new ...

The surface of Venus is scoured with strange, quasi-circular features called coronae. Unlike anything seen on Earth today, they can stretch hundreds of miles in diameter, even going past the thousand ...
