Venus

Scientists may finally know why Venus, Earth's twin, lacks a moon, finding that the hottest planet in the solar system may have consumed its own natural satellite.

The first-ever private mission to Venus is still groundbound due to delays with its launch vehicle, Rocket Lab's Neutron. But team members remain bullish on the groundbreaking mission.

A 3,700-mile-long cloud bank on Venus forms through the same phenomenon that describes how water spreads out in your kitchen sink, scientists say.

Evidence suggests that Venus is still volcanically active, and new data about a big eruption in Hawaii a few years ago could help scientists find out for sure.

Russia plans to launch the Venera-D mission to Venus in 2036, continuing the Soviet Union's legacy of exploring there in the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s.

Scientists analyzing decades-old NASA's Magellan data have identified only the second reported lava tube on Venus.

This coming July, Venus could plow through the dust generated by an asteroid breakup thousands of years ago, potentially sparking an impressive meteor shower.

"We are in constant contact with NASA."

A new study suggests that a once-daily atmospheric tidal cycle may be a bigger driver of rapid Venusian winds than previously thought.

Several new missions to Venus are expected in the late 2020s and early 2030s, but some of them depend on funding that may not materialize.
