Radar and gravity records from NASA’s Magellan orbiter show that Venus' surface is still shifting and is not geologically ...

For decades, Venus, often dubbed “Earth’s twin,” has been depicted as a barren, inhospitable world, its surface locked in an ...

Mantle plumes are mysterious upwellings of molten rock believed to transmit heat from the core-mantle boundary to the Earth’s surface, far from the edges of tectonic plates.

Because Venus's surface is covered by a single plate, a high-velocity impact led to a superheated core and long-lived volcanism. On Mars, a large, low-velocity impact facilitated variations in its ...

A swarm of large asteroids likely lurking around Venus could one day pose an "invisible threat" to Earth if left unchecked, astronomers have warned.

The geology of Venus presents a complex interplay between extensive volcanic activity, mantle dynamics and tectonic deformation. Recent studies have revealed that, in the absence of Earth‐like ...
