NASA's Magellan Data Reveals Volcanic Activity on Venus
Mar 16, 2023 (JPL)
Scientists study active volcanoes to understand how a planet's interior can shape its crust, drive its evolution, and affect its habitability. One of NASA's new...
Squishy outer shell may be resurfacing Venus
Feb 24, 2023 (SPX)
Our planet has a hot core that heats the surrounding mantle, which carries that heat up to Earth's rigid outer rocky layer, or lithosphere. The heat is then los...
New study offers insight into how Venus cools
Feb 24, 2023 (UPI)
On Earth, the planet's core heats the surrounding mantle which then conveys heat to the outer layer or lithosphere, where it then radiates out into space, causi...
BepiColombo and Solar Orbiter compare notes at Venus
Jan 27, 2023 (SPX)
The ESA/JAXA BepiColombo mission, enroute to study Mercury, and the ESA/NASA Solar Orbiter, which is observing the Sun from different perspectives, are both usi...
Massive Volcanism May Have Altered Ancient Venus' Climate
Nov 18, 2022 (SPX)
The paper also discusses these "large igneous provinces" in Earth's history which caused several mass extinctions on our own planet millions of years ago. "By u...
NASA instrument to measure temperature, pressure, and wind on Venus
Oct 21, 2022 (SPX)
VASI will be installed on the DAVINCI mission's descent sphere to parachute through Venus' atmosphere. The descent sphere carries a sophisticated suite of five ...
JPL's Venus Aerial Robotic Balloon Prototype Aces Test Flights
Oct 11, 2022 (JPL)
The intense pressure, heat, and corrosive gases of Venus' surface are enough to disable even the most robust spacecraft in a matter of hours. But a few dozen mi...
Coronal mass ejection hits Solar Orbiter before Venus flyby
Sep 06, 2022 (ESA)
On 30 Aug, a large coronal mass ejection shot from the Sun in the direction of Venus. Not long later, the storm arrived at the second planet from the Sun. As th...
New analysis shows how sulfur clouds can form in Venus' atmosphere
Aug 10, 2022 (SPX)
"We know that the atmosphere of Venus has abundant SO2 and sulfuric acid particles. We expect that ultraviolet destruction of SO2 produces sulfur particles. The...
Readying spacecraft to surf Venus' atmosphere
Jul 28, 2022 (ESA)
"EnVision as currently conceived cannot take place without this lengthy phase of aerobraking," explains ESA's EnVision study manager Thomas Voirin. "The spacecr...
NASA's DAVINCI Mission To Take the Plunge Through Massive Atmosphere of Venus
Jun 03, 2022 (SPX)
DAVINCI, a flying analytical chemistry laboratory, will measure critical aspects of Venus' massive atmosphere-climate system for the first time, many of which h...
Student-Built, Dime-Sized Instrument Is Venus-bound on NASA's DAVINCI
Jun 03, 2022 (SPX)
Planned for launch in 2029, the DAVINCI mission (Deep Atmosphere Venus Investigation of Noble gases, Chemistry, and Imaging) will send a spacecraft and a probe ...
Why Venus rotates, slowly, despite sun's powerful grip
Apr 22, 2022 (SPX)
The gravity of a large object in space can keep a smaller object from spinning, a phenomenon called tidal locking. Because it prevents this locking, a UC Rivers...
Aerial antenna for Venus mission test
Mar 07, 2022 (ESA)
"To develop key technologies for future missions, ESA's Directorate of Technology, Engineering and Quality often explores multiple approaches," explains ESA ant...
