Billions of years ago, Venus may have harbored as much water as Earth. Today, almost all of it has disappeared. A new study may help to explain why. Planetary scientists at the University of ...
Venus today is dry thanks to water loss to space as atomic hydrogen. In the dominant loss process, an HCO+ ion recombines with an electron, producing speedy H atoms (orange) that use CO molecules ...

(Nanowerk News) Planetary scientists at the University of Colorado Boulder have discovered how Venus, Earth’s scalding and uninhabitable neighbor, became so dry. The new study fills in a big gap in ...
Venus, often referred to as Earth's twin planet, was once home to water. However, a chemical reaction known as HCO+ dissociative recombination led to the evaporation and escape of this water into ...
"Evidence for activity, even in the lower-resolution Magellan data, supercharges the potential to revolutionize our ...
NASA’s spacecraft Magellan used cloud-penetrating radar to survey most of the planet. But back then, the relatively ...
The surface of Venus is littered with thousands of volcanoes, some of which may still be active until today. A fresh look at ...
Scientists have found new evidence of volcanic activity reshaping the surface of Venus, which could even suggest that its activity rivals that of present day Earth. Back in 2023, scientists ...
Using observations by NASA’s TESS (Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite) and many other facilities, two international teams ...
VERITAS mission will discover the secrets of a lost habitable world on Venus, gathering data to reveal how the paths of Earth ...
The exoplanet could have two very different types of atmospheric setups. An Earth-like atmosphere made up of oxygen, nitrogen ...
