Though hot and suffocating today, Venus may have once been a temperate world before massive volcanism changed it forever.

NASA scientists are preparing to paint the most detailed picture to date of the atmosphere of Venus when the aptly named DAVINCI mission drops a probe to the planet's surface.

Researchers have detected an earthquake using instruments flying in a balloon above California, and the technology could one day detect quakes on Venus.

A unique, helium-filled, sulfuric-acid resistant balloon called an aerobot successfully completed two test flights over the Nevada desert.

Venus is being hammered by wild space weather this week after a giant sunspot, not visible from Earth, expelled an enormous plasma burst toward the scorching-hot planet.

The brightest planet in the night sky, Venus, will appear by the brightest star of the constellation Leo, Regulus , on and around Labor Day (Sept. 5).

Rocket Lab aims to send a probe to Venus soon, and a new paper lays out the details of the ambitious mission.

Scientists using new computational methods have come up with a new insight into the potential workings of the complex atmosphere of Venus.

Europe's planned Venus exploration mission will depend on a challenging aerobraking procedure to lower its orbit, which will test the thermal resiliency of its materials to the limits.
