"Being off even a little bit represents hundreds or thousands of kilometers in distance on the surface of the Earth." ...

Currently, Venus has a scorching hot surface temperature of around 1,000 degrees Fahrenheit (500 degrees Celsius), hot enough to melt lead. If that weren't intimidating enough, the second planet ...

The research supports the argument that Venus’ tectonics are active today, he says. What’s more, the demonstrated ability of computer simulations to predict what spacecraft may observe will be a boon ...

Radar and gravity records from NASA’s Magellan orbiter show that Venus' surface is still shifting and is not geologically ...

New research suggests that Mercury's crust is shifting and twisting in unexpected ways thanks to the force of the Sun.

The data was gathered by the Magellan mission, which remains the best data on the gravity and topography of Venus despite having orbited the planet in the 1990s.

A swarm of large asteroids likely lurking around Venus could one day pose an "invisible threat" to Earth if left unchecked, ...

From a distance, Venus and Earth look like siblings: it is almost identical in size and is a rocky planet like Earth. But up close, Venus is more like an evil twin: it is covered with thick clouds ...
