The Japanese space agency said it has lost contact with its intrepid Venus spacecraft Akatsuki. Akatsuki is Japan’s mission dedicated to studying the climate of Venus and currently the only active spacecraft in orbit around the second planet from the sun. The $300 million spacecraft launched in 2010 and had a less than stellar start […]
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 flows coming from two volcanoes on Venus that erupted in the early 1990s. That was when Magellan orbited the hellish world overhead. This marks the second time scientists […]
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 article published Monday that they spotted evidence of changes to the planet’s surface. They compared images of the area taken from 1990 to 1992 taken by […]
Magma might be roiling and bubbling just underneath the surface of Venus, even as you read these words – and possibly breaking through. A new analysis of data collected over the space of just eight months in the early 1990s by the Magellan orbiter shows changes in the Venusian surface that can best be attributed […]
Sports athletes and icons such as Venus Williams and Mary Fowler have been presented with one-of-a-kind Barbie dolls to show the younger generation that anything is possible. Ahead of the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris, Mattel has created dolls in the likeness of nine female athletes from around to world to highlight the stories of […]
Scientists have identified a water-loss mechanism on Venus that could explain how the once water-rich world became completely parched. In the newly identified process, linked to a previously overlooked molecule high in Venus’ atmosphere, water escaped Venus at double the rate previously estimated. As faster water loss means less time is needed to boil away […]
Scientists may have identified a molecule that played a key role in robbing Venus of its water and turned this planet into the arid, hellish world we see today. Venus is often called “Earth’s twin” because both planets are around the same size and density; they are also both rocky planets located in the inner […]
Today, the atmosphere of our neighbor planet Venus is as hot as a pizza oven and drier than the driest desert on Earth – but it wasn’t always that way. Billions of years ago, Venus had as much water as Earth does today. If that water was ever liquid, Venus may have once been habitable. […]
An abundance of gases, including carbon and oxygen, are being stripped away from Venus’ atmosphere, according to flyby data from Europe’s BepiColombo space probe. This data was obtained as the Mercury-bound spacecraft flew past Venus, and could shed new light on the leaky atmosphere of our planetary neighbor. Down the line, the findings could help […]

If Venus hosts lifeforms in its toxic clouds, they likely won’t be deprived of amino acids, one of the essential building blocks of life (as we know it). At least, that’s what scientists say is the result of a new lab experiment. Despite being Earth’s “twin,” Venus sizzles at temperatures reaching hundreds of degrees and […]
