Planet Venus - latest research news and features - Phys.org
Daily science news on research developments, technological breakthroughs and the latest scientific innovations
phys.orgHere’s a concise update on the latest Venus news based on recent public reporting:
- NASA has publicly discussed renewed interest in Venus with multiple missions planned for the late 2020s and early 2030s, including VERITAS and DAVINCI+ to map the surface and study the atmosphere, signaling a new era of Venus exploration.[1][3]
- New analyses of older Magellan data and recent modeling suggest Venus may be geologically active, with coronae potentially driven by mantle plumes rather than being entirely static features, challenging the view of Venus as a dead planet.[2][1]
- In addition to mission planning, pages aggregating Venus coverage highlight ongoing curiosity about Venus' geology and atmospheric chemistry, including debates about past detections like phosphine and what current observations imply about volcanic or tectonic activity.[5][10]
If you’d like, I can narrow this to a specific aspect (missions, geology, or atmospheric chemistry) or pull the most current headlines from a single source.
