Venus is one of the most hostile places in the solar system—hot enough to melt metal and covered in crushing pressure. But high above its surface, something strange may be happening. Scientists have ...

The study of Venus’ atmosphere and climate encompasses a broad spectrum of research, from the detection of trace chemical species and the characterisation of cloud dynamics to investigations of the ...

Venus has long been considered one of the most hostile places in the solar system. Surface temperatures melt metal, pressure could crush a submarine, and clouds are made of sulfuric acid. For decades, ...

While Venus is made up of about 96% carbon dioxide, scientists just discovered there's atomic oxygen in the planet’s atmosphere. According to findings from a joint project between NASA and the German ...

Japan’s Himawari weather satellites, designed to watch Earth, have quietly delivered a decade of infrared snapshots of Venus. By stitching 437 images together, scientists tracked daily thermal tides ...

Imagine the catastrophic winds of a category 5 hurricane. Now, imagine even faster winds of more than 100 meters per second, encircling the planet and whipping clouds across the sky, with no end in ...
