A new study suggests that a once-daily atmospheric tidal cycle may be a bigger driver of rapid Venusian winds than previously ...

Four years ago, the unexpected discovery in the clouds of Venus of a gas that on Earth signifies life — phosphine — faced controversy, earning rebukes in subsequent observations that failed to match ...

In this image, Venus is just beginning its journey across the face of the sun. Its atmosphere is visible as a thin, glowing border on the upper left of the planet. Two of NASA’s heliophysics missions ...

New findings suggest that diurnal tides, driven by solar heat, are a major contributor to the extreme speeds of Venus's winds ...

In the search for habitable exoplanets, atmospheric conditions play a key role in determining if a planet can sustain liquid water. Suitable candidates often sit in the "Goldilocks zone," a distance ...

Scientists may have identified a molecule that played a key role in robbing Venus of its water and turned this planet into the arid, hellish world we see today. Venus is often called "Earth's twin" ...

New simulations suggest TRAPPIST-1e's possible methane atmosphere may be a false signal from its star, raising fresh ...

Venus Express has studied the true extent of Venus’s restless atmosphere. This includes the planet’s glow, its highly variable south polar vortex and the dynamic upper atmosphere, different from what ...

Venus today is dry thanks to water loss to space as atomic hydrogen. In the dominant loss process, an HCO+ ion recombines with an electron, producing speedy H atoms (orange) that use CO molecules ...

Planet Venus is one of the most fascinating places in the solar system, and the one most easily recognizable in the night sky. The true twin of planet Earth (no, it's not Mars), Venus has more things ...

Using the JWST, an international team featuring UNIGE scientists has detected enormous clouds of helium streaming away from ...

New James Webb telescope observations of the 'super-puff' planet WASP-107b show that the exoplanet's runaway atmosphere is frantically escaping into space.
