New research may have brought Earth and its inhospitable, "evil twin" even closer together. Today, Venus seems to lack the tectonic activity seen on Earth, but surface features like faults, folds and ...

Researchers have recently focused on intriguing geological formations on Venus, including peculiar structures on its surface that have captured scientific interest. As of September 30, 2025, these ...

On a flyby of Venus, NASA’s Parker Solar Probe captured the first visible light images of the cloudy planet’s surface from space, a new study reports. The nightside view of the extremely hot surface ...

Vast, quasi-circular features on Venus's surface may reveal that the planet has ongoing tectonics, according to new research based on data gathered more than 30 years ago by NASA's Magellan mission.

The geology and surface processes of Venus continue to intrigue planetary scientists, revealing a dynamic world shaped by volcanic activity, tectonic forces and chemical weathering. Recent ...

Impact features on Venus may have been staring us in the face all along That's the message from a team of planetary scientists, who have explained Venus' apparent dearth of large craters by ...

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 ...

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 takeaway: Little is understood about the geology of Venus, and recent findings suggest that the planet's subsurface processes may not follow the same patterns observed elsewhere. Future missions ...

The crust of volcanically active Venus could be churning with convection currents just like the Earth's mantle. This is the conclusion of researchers from the Washington University in St. Louis, who ...
