Venus, the hottest planet in the solar system, is estimated to have 85,000 volcanoes, based on radar images from NASA's 1989 ...

Future missions to Venus could also supply additional data on the density and temperature of the planet's crust, which could ...

It's easy to imagine space volcanoes as even more ferocious and devastating versions of the ones scattered across Earth, but in reality, most of them have fallen into dormancy. Volcanic features have ...

Venus may be far more geologically alive than anyone expected. New research suggests its outer crust could be churning with ...

Venus, however, is a different story. Its crust is thicker—anywhere from 30 to 90 kilometers—and its surface is extremely hot ...

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 University in ...

Unfortunately, this news comes just after evidence of active volcanoes on Venus was discovered using old data captured by NASA’s Magellan mission 30 years ago. The hope was that VERITAS would ...

Venus has more volcanoes than any other world in the solar system—more than 1,600 have been spotted in radar images. Several studies in the past ten years have suggested that these volcanoes may ...

Convection processes beneath Venus' scorched surface may help explain the planet's many volcanoes, a new study reports. Venus, the hottest planet in the solar system, is estimated to have 85,000 ...

Venus's crust may be undergoing convection, a process where heated material rises and cooler material sinks, potentially explaining the planet's numerous volcanoes.
