Venus is a planet so similar to Earth in size and composition. It has often been referred to as Earth’s sister planet. It has also often been the subject of conjecture.

A swarm of large asteroids likely lurking around Venus could one day pose an "invisible threat" to Earth if left unchecked, astronomers have warned.

A strange, gargantuan wall of acid-filled clouds on our neighboring planet Venus has been spotted by a hobbyist astronomer. This structure, known as the Venus Cloud Discontinuity, is around 5,000 ...
