An international team has made a significant breakthrough in understanding the tectonic evolution of terrestrial planets.

The models showed that these strange shapes could form when magma rises and weakens the surface in a “squishy” or partly moving lid. Instead of forming clear, global plates like Earth, Venus likely ...

"These are not random oddities. They are fingerprints of Earth's earliest history." The post Scientists Say Huge Structures ...

Exploring Venus is beyond extreme. Temperatures reach 470°C, electronics fail instantly, and landing is almost impossible.

Scientists may finally be closing in on the origins of two colossal, mysterious structures buried nearly 1,800 miles inside ...

By integrating seismic data, mineral physics and geodynamic modeling, the study reconceived large low-shear velocity ...

Deep under our feet—almost 1,800 miles below the surface—scientists have found two huge and mysterious structures that may ...
