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

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

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, on the other hand, is a hot planet both inside and out. Surface temperatures reach 870°F, and its volcanoes and other surface features show clear signs of melting.

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—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 ...
