Venus is home to some of the weirdest volcanoes in the solar system—massive, flattened domes that look like planetary pancakes left to cool on the world’s blistering surface. Scientists have long suspected these “pancake domes” formed from thick, slow-moving lava. But a new study suggests that Venus’ bendy crust may be crucial to the formation of the circular mounts. The research, published earlier this month in Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, focused on one particularly enormous dome

Twenty years ago, Congress gave NASA a directive: find 90% of the near-Earth asteroids that could potentially harm our little world. Since then, astronomers have made major progress tracking down the rocky space debris, but a new study suggests there’s a population of asteroids lurking around Venus that could pose a problem. These so-called “Venus co-orbitals” share a similar path around the Sun with our neighbor planet but aren’t harmless tagalongs. According to a paper under review for the jo

The U.S. is one step closer to achieving hypersonic flight after Venus Aerospace, a Houston-based propulsion company, successfully launched a test of its rotating detonation rocket engine (RDRE) on Wednesday, May 14. The company claims it is the first U.S.-based test of this technology, which is finally coming to fruition after decades of research and development. Eventually, RDREs could power high-speed aircraft capable of traveling more than six times the speed of sound, Venus Aerospace state

New details about the crust on Venus include some surprises about the geology of Earth’s hotter twin. This global view of the surface of Venus is centered at 180 degrees east longitude. Magellan synthetic aperture radar mosaics from the first cycle of Magellan mapping are mapped onto a computer-simulated globe to create this image. Data gaps are filled with Pioneer Venus Orbiter data, or a constant mid-range value. Simulated color is used to enhance small-scale structure. The simulated hues are

In brief: A space probe that has orbited Earth for over half a century is expected to reenter the atmosphere within the next week. Although the failed lander might impact Earth's surface at least partially intact and at high speed, it has a low chance of hitting a populated area. The Cosmos 482 lander (also known as Kosmos 482) has been in a decaying orbit since the Soviet Union launched the spacecraft in a failed 1972 mission to Venus. Depending on numerous factors like space weather and its a

Only four spacecraft have ever returned images from Venus’ surface. The world next door doesn’t make it easy, with searing heat and crushing pressure that quickly destroy any lander. In 1975 and 1982, four of the Soviet Union’s Venera probes captured our only images of Venus’ surface. The Veneras, which mean “Venus” in Russian, scanned the surface back and forth to create panoramic images of their surroundings. They revealed yellow skies and cracked, desolate landscapes that were both alien a

A company that's slated to launch the world's first-ever private mission to Venus is getting ready for the planet's super-hot temperatures with some help from NASA. The space agency boasted in a press release that it's working with Rocket Lab, a California-based aerospace manufacturer, to apply a heat shield onto the small space capsule that's scheduled to launch next summer. Along with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Rocket Lab has since 2021 been planning its Venus Life Finder mis
