Hank briefs us on the upcoming planetary transit of Venus, which will be observable June 5th and 6th of 2012.

Researchers have finally determined how long a day on Venus is, give or take an episode of Brooklyn 99.

What was that giant swoop on Venus? And SpaceX continues to move forward.

If you rank the most habitable places in our solar system Venus lands pretty low, with surface temperatures hot enough to melt lead and sulphuric acid rain. And yet it may have just jumped to the front of the pack. In fact, we may have...

Dr. Clara Sousa-Silva is the co-author on the study about Phosphine on Venus. We ask her some questions from you about the discovery.

NASA has selected the DAVINCI+ (Deep Atmosphere Venus Investigation of Noble-gases, Chemistry and Imaging +) mission as part of its Discovery program, and it will be the first spacecraft to enter the Venus...

Witness the rare and historic transit of Venus at the Royal Observatory in Greenwich, where hundreds gathered to observe this celestial spectacle. This event, occurring for the first time since 1882, offers scientists a unique...

Our universe started with the Big Bang, but how will it end? Explore cosmologists’ three possible scenarios: the Big Crunch, the Big Freeze and the Big Rip. -- We know about our universe’s past: the Big Bang theory predicts that all...

The LASCO C3 coronograph on board the SOHO spacecraft has been watching the approach of Venus for its last solar transit until 2117.



With coronagraphs, the Sun is being blocked by an occulting disk, seen here in blue, so...

This video provides a brief overview of the planets closest to Earth in our solar system, including Mercury, Venus, and Mars. It describes the unique characteristics of each planet and includes images and footage from spacecraft that...

Storms are a regular occurrence throughout the solar system, and they can get Big. So what are the largest ones we've ever observed?

Venus is too hot, Mars is too cold, and Earth is just right, says planetary scientist Dave Brain. But why? In this pleasantly humorous talk, Brain explores the fascinating science behind what it takes for a planet to host life -- and why...

A conversation about NASA’s Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy (SOFIA) and the Echelon-Cross-Echelle Spectrograph (EXES) science instrument with Matthew Richter, Principle Investigator, and Edward Montiel, Postdoctoral...

We’ve known about different types of supernovas for some time, but researchers now believe they have observed a previously unseen kind! And, sadly, the odds of life on Venus may not be as high as we once believed.

In February 2020, NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory — SDO — is celebrating its 10th year in space. Over the past decade the spacecraft has kept a constant eye on the Sun, studying how the Sun creates solar activity and...

In 1990, Hubble meant trouble. The highly touted space telescope was designed to escape Earth’s blurry atmosphere to capture unparalleled visual images of the universe, but its creators were shocked to discover that a minuscule...
