Scientists have built the most detailed map volcanoes on Venus, which is also the most complete volcano map of all planets in the solar system. The map reveals the locations and sizes of all 85,000 ...

The air on Venus is about 96.5% carbon dioxide, a potent greenhouse gas. All that CO2 leads to a runaway greenhouse effect ...

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 ...

Venus is back, baby — and very much alive. Scientists taking a look at old data from NASA’s long retired Magellan spacecraft have spotted the best evidence yet that the planet still stirs with ...

New research led by Universities Space Research Association (USRA) and published today in Science Advances shows that lava flows on Venus may be only a few years old, suggesting that Venus could be ...

Is there anything good about volcanoes? They can be violent, dangerous, and unpredictable. For modern humans, volcanoes are mostly an inconvenience, sometimes an intriguing visual display, and ...

Venus is sometimes called Earth’s twin, as it is roughly the same size as Earth, occupies the orbital lane adjacent to ours, and has a problem with greenhouse gases (namely carbon dioxide) in its ...

ESA’s Venus Express has measured a highly variable quantity of the volcanic gas sulphur dioxide in the atmosphere of Venus. Scientists must now decide whether this is evidence for active volcanoes on ...

Evidence continues to assemble that Venus is more geologically active than previously thought. Planetary scientists scouring decades-old data from NASA's Magellan spacecraft have found signs of lava ...

Venus has active volcanism. A new analysis of decades-old images reveals the first definitive sign of a volcano erupting on the hellish planet next door. “This world is not quiet, not quiescent, not ...

Earth may have had a lucky escape from the volcanism that transformed Venus. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how it works. Massive global ...
