Venus

The first private spacecraft mission to Venus, Rocket Lab's Photon Spacecraft, will take on the planet's hellish conditions with the aid of a novel woven heat shield called "HEEET."

Scientists are proposing ways to explore Venus in the next decade and beyond by way of a host of advanced technologies, from balloons to long-lived landers.

New research suggests that Venus may never have possessed liquid water oceans. That would mean "Earth's evil twin" was always hostile to life.

Venus' wrinkled, deformed "tesserae" terrain may be ancient impact features the size of continents, a new study suggests.

Scientists found an unexpected ratio of hydrogen to deuterium in Venus' atmosphere, offering clues about the world's past.

Earth and its "evil twin" Venus are very different today, with the latter lacking plate tectonics. New research indicates Venus may have been much more like our planet than we suspected.

Preliminary evidence for gases that could be biosignatures have been found in the atmosphere of Venus, but even if these biosignatures are real, does it necessarily imply life?

"The Rain (Supa Dupa Fly)” traveled 158 million miles (254 million kilometers) to our neighbor.

The Japanese space agency has lost contact with its intrepid Venus orbiter, Akatsuki.

Venus may be as geologically active as Earth, with volcanoes possibly spewing on its surface in the present day.
