Some scientists are keen to send humans to Venus on a flyby.

New catalytic converters can remove toxic chemicals from the exhaust fumes of combustion-engine cars.

Humans might one day be able to live somewhere else in the Universe.

From the tallest cliff in the solar system to its largest impact basin, geological processes on other worlds are very similar to those on our own planet.

"If you send a spacecraft to the surface of Venus, which has been done several times, they only last a few minutes until the hot acid burns them up."

Tectonic motion in the form of crustal blocks that have jostled against each other suggests Venus may still be geologically active, researchers say.

Researchers used decades-old radar data and found that some low-lying areas of Venus' crust are moving and jostling. This evidence is some of the strongest yet of tectonic activity on Venus.

Two new NASA missions – VERITAS and DAVINCI+ – are headed to Venus. The missions will use radar and a probe to learn about Earth's hard-to-study and potentially prophetic neighbor.

When two missions to Venus were announced, two others missed out.
