Venus

The first-ever private mission Venus is slated to launch in 2025. and aims to search for signs of life in its clouds by detecting organic chemistry.

Scientists found atomic oxygen buried between two dominant currents in the hellish planet's atmosphere.

The two brightest objects in the night sky — dazzling Venus and a lovely waning crescent moon — will be the chief celestial attraction in the predawn sky on Thursday, Nov. 9.

New research suggests the solar system's hottest planet, Venus, could have had Earth-like plate tectonics billions of years ago, opening up the possibility that this hellish once hosted life.

For years, experts haven't agreed on whether Venus' lightning is truly lightning. New data from NASA's sun-kissing spacecraft may have settled the debate.

Tiny meteors burning up in Venus' atmosphere cause light flashes that have long been interpreted as lightning bolts, according to new research.

Venus has more volcanoes than any other planet in the solar system, and researchers may now know what is powering them.

More evidence of the potentially life-indicating molecule phosphine has been discovered in Venus' atmosphere, opening the next chapter in a heated debate.

The Rocket Lab's pioneering private mission to Venus, which had been set to launch last month, has been delayed until at least 2025.

Venus will begin staying out later and later in the coming weeks until it leaves the night sky to become a dazzling fixture in the predawn morning through the end of 2023.
