Using decades-old Magellan data, researchers built new 3D models of Venus’s largest coronae and found evidence that multiple plume-driven processes may be shaping the planet’s surface.

A waxing crescent Moon will pass near Venus and Jupiter on consecutive evenings in mid-May, creating one of 2026’s most accessible dusk sky events for casual observers and telescope users alike.

A team led by the University of Tokyo says a hydraulic jump, the same abrupt transition seen when water spreads across a sink, can explain a massive recurring disturbance in Venus’s cloud layers.

New research argues that worlds with too little water may fail to sustain the carbonate-silicate cycle that helps keep Earth temperate, suggesting that some planets inside habitable zones could still drift toward Venus-l

Researchers at the University of Southern California report a memristor that operated reliably at 700 degrees Celsius, a result that could reshape electronics for Venus missions and other extreme environments.

A study presented at the 2026 Lunar and Planetary Science Conference examines whether organic material ejected from Earth could seed temporary life in Venus’ clouds.

Researchers from Delft University of Technology have outlined KYTHERA, a Venus lander concept designed to survive for up to 200 Earth days while conducting atmospheric, environmental, and geologic science on the surface.

A research team in China has proposed an integrated system aimed at studying Venus’s extreme atmosphere, framing the concept as a new way to deepen exploration of one of the solar system’s harshest environments.
