Gliese 12 b, a Venus-sized world located just 40 light-years away, presents a promising target for studying planetary atmospheres and potential habitability. Reading time 4 minutes A newly discovered ...
A spectacular recent find points towards life on another planet in our solar system. NASA scientists presented a study that Venus could have been a habitable planet two or three billion years ago with ...
Gliese 12 b, which orbits a cool, red dwarf star located just 40 light-years away, promises to tell astronomers more about how planets close to their stars retain or lose their atmospheres. In this ...
Astronomers have made the rare and tantalising discovery of an Earth-like exoplanet 40 light-years away that may be just a little warmer than our own world. The potentially-habitable planet, named ...
Venus spins slowly, yet its upper atmosphere races around the planet in just a few days, driving hurricane‑force winds that have puzzled scientists for decades. Researchers now argue they have ...
What is the importance of studying explosive volcanism on Venus? This is what a study published in the Journal of Geophysical ...

New research may have brought Earth and its inhospitable, "evil twin" even closer together. Today, Venus seems to lack the tectonic activity seen on Earth, but surface features like faults, folds and ...
DAVINCI will send a meter-diameter probe to brave the high temperatures and pressures near Venus’ surface to explore the atmosphere from above the clouds to near the surface of a terrain that may have ...
