A new study reveals fresh signs of geological activity on Venus — clues that the planet's mysterious surface is still ...

Instruments aboard the Venus Express spacecraft have obtained the first large-area temperature map of the southern hemisphere of Venus’ searing surface.

This means that if those missions get selected, we will be able to make a geologic map of the Venus surface from orbit using the FeO contents of the rocks,” Dyar said.

When NASA aimed it at Venus, they thought the camera might be able to measure the speeds of Venusian clouds. Instead, they were able to map the nightside surface of the planet. Smoldering Surface ...

NASA’s Parker Solar Probe captures the first visible light images of Venus’ surface from space. That’s a real feat considering that the probe is primarily only using Venus for gravity assist ...

The first spacecraft to map the entire surface of Venus, Magellan used a synthetic aperture radar to capture detail down to a resolution of 390 feet.

Venus is the target of several upcoming missions later this decade like VERITAS and DAVINCI that will image and sample the Venusian atmosphere and create a new higher-resolution map of the surface ...

NASA's last mission dedicated to exploring Venus was a spacecraft called Magellan, which arrived on the planet in 1990 and spent four years mapping the planet's surface with a sophisticated radar ...

Thanks to ESA's Venus Express data, scientists obtained the first large-area temperature maps of the southern hemisphere of the inhospitable, lead-melting surface of Venus.

Magellan, the fifth U.S. trip to Venus, launched from the space shuttle on May 4, 1989, on a mission to map the surface of the solar system’s hottest planet.

Maps of Venus show a young surface, but it doesn’t seem to have tectonic plates. Radar map of Venus showing a young surface.

NASA's Magellan mission created the first maps of the surface in the 1990s using radar and the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) Akatsuki spacecraft gathered infrared images in 2016.
