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 ...

Active volcano spotted on Venus. The planet's not dead yet. Similar convection processes are now believed to be present on Venus, but instead occurring in the planet's thin outer crust ...

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 ...

Some scientists, however, have suggested that current volcanic activity on Mars and Venus may not be so far-fetched after all, with new evidence emerging from recent studies. What Gave Earth Its ...

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 ...
