The study, published in Physics of the Earth and Planetary Interiors, suggests that Venus’ outer crust is much more dynamic, continuously reshaping itself through convection currents that help ...

Venus may be far more geologically alive than anyone expected. New research suggests its outer crust could be churning with convection, a process that helps move heat and may explain the planet’s tens ...

Future missions to Venus could also supply additional data on the density and temperature of the planet's crust, which could be used to test the researchers' hypothesis. If crustal convection is ...

Venus will pass between the Earth and sun on Saturday during what's called an inferior conjunction. The moment of conjunction will happen at around 9 p.m. EDT, but don't plan on seeing the linkup.

Now a U.S. team is developing a plan to send a more advanced and much more durable lander to Venus—to brave a world of hellish heat, crushing barometric pressure, and a swirling carbon dioxide ...

Once, said Chase, we thought we saw a light on the horizon, but it turned out to be heat lightning. Again, we really did see a light on the horizon, but it was no plane, merely, Venus putting in a ...

to apply a heat shield onto the small space capsule that's scheduled to launch next summer. Along with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Rocket Lab has since 2021 been planning its Venus ...

NEW YORK — Venus will pass between the Earth and sun on Saturday during what's called an inferior conjunction. But don't plan on seeing the linkup. The sight is extremely difficult to spot ...

In the five short years since focusing on the concept, Andrew Duggleby, chief technology officer and co-founder of the ...

Venus hasn’t received nearly the same attention from space programs as Mars, largely due to its exceedingly hostile environment. Most electronics wouldn’t survive the 462 °C heat, never mind ...
