Imagine standing on a scorched landscape where the ground is cracked and shimmering, and the sky glows a deep, fiery orange.

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 ...

Future missions to Venus might provide more precise data on the density and temperature variations within its crust. Solomatov believes that high-resolution gravity measurements could reveal areas of ...

Venus, the hottest planet in the solar system, is estimated to have 85,000 volcanoes, based on radar images from NASA's 1989 Magellan mission. Now, scientists have a new theory about what fuels the ...

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 ...

Venus attracts some attention ... At around 50km altitude, conditions are surprisingly temperate, with the temperature and pressure similar to Earth's. Like the DE, the VLE is based on key ...

Alan E. Wright | Salt Lake City Landing on Venus is challenging enough for robotic missions, says Bruce Campbell, a senior scientist at the National Air and Space Museum. The temperature at the ...
