Venus, Earth’s closest planetary neighbor is one of the most extreme and hostile environments in the Solar System. With ...

Guillermo Söhnlein, who co-founded OceanGate, is also heading up an effort that'll allow up to 1,000 people to live in a floating, space station-like structure in Venus' atmosphere by the year 2050.

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

On Venus, a year lasts about 225 Earth days but a Venusian day is even longer, roughly 243 Earth days. Consequently, when the Sun rises on Venus, it doesn’t set for a long time.

According to the researchers, however, Venus's atmosphere is simply too dry: It doesn't contain enough water for there have been oceans that slowly evaporated as the planet warmed.

Oxygen accounts for about 21% of Earth's air, with the rest of our atmosphere primarily nitrogen. And most living things - including people, as we well know - need oxygen to survive.

During one of these Venusian flybys on July 11, 2020, the probe collected evidence that Venus' upper atmosphere goes through some unusual changes that are influenced by the solar cycle, or our sun ...

In 2020, the astronomy world was roused at the prospect of phosphine, a gas associated with anaerobic bacteria, after it was seemingly detected in the Venusian atmosphere.

The researchers, from the University of Cambridge, studied the chemical composition of the Venusian atmosphere and inferred that its interior is too dry today for there ever to have been enough ...

They arrived at their conclusions by examining the chemical composition of the Venusian atmosphere. The team's research, published in the journal Nature Astronomy, could have implications beyond ...
