Bizarre Venus surface formations (or coronae) are likely key to understanding our twin planet's heretofore inscrutable interior.

Preliminary results of a study presented at the recent European Geosciences Union General Assembly in Vienna indicate that hellish Venus-type planets may be about twice as common as habitable planets that form with oceans.

NASA's Juno mission to Jupiter and its moons has made the closest ever approach of only 5000km to Jupiter's moon of Thebe.

Scientists are trying to understand Venus' bright surface formations, called coronae, using new 3D maps.

The long, puzzling dwarf planet Ceres, in reality the first named asteroid, has surface features that are much more complex than previously thought.

After only four short years, NASA's James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) and observational cosmologists like Richard Ellis at University College

Venus' bizarre and extraordinarily slow retrograde rotation on its axis has long puzzled planetary scientists.

Despite continual habitability headlines, the debate over whether Mars ever had or currently has life still rages.

After decades of analyzing reams of lunar rocks back here on Earth, the canonical view of the Moon was that it was anhydrous; that it had extraordinarily little water.

How life started on our own planet may not seem as sexy as finding evidence for life on Mars, or the icy moons of Europa or Enceladus.
