Thanks to ESA’s Venus Express data, scientists obtained the first large-area temperature maps of the southern hemisphere of the inhospitable, lead-melting surface of Venus. The new data may help with ...

DAVINCI will send a meter-diameter probe to brave the high temperatures and pressures near Venus’ surface to explore the atmosphere from above the clouds to near the surface of a terrain that may have ...

Venus spins slowly, yet its upper atmosphere races around the planet in just a few days, driving hurricane‑force winds that have puzzled scientists for decades. Researchers now argue they have ...

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 ...

Venus, Earth's hostile twin, is growing more unpredictable for upcoming space missions. Extreme heat, crushing pressure, and ...

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 ...
