New results from a simulation continue to paint a strange picture of our noxious neighbor. It seems that an interaction between the planet’s mountains and its atmosphere could create waves strong enough to change the length of a Venusian day by up to two minutes.
The host star itself is about 600 light years away from the Earth. The discovery was made by measuring the mass of the planet using the indigenously designed “PRL Advance Radial-velocity Abu-sky Search”
India’s mission to Venus drew a step closer to reality this week with the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) inviting proposals from scientists across the country experiments to conduct experiments on the yellow planet.

Researchers have reported that the discovery of Venus-like distant planet GJ 1132b, located 39 light years away from our home planet, may have oxygen but has no signs of life on it. The researchers
In an indication of the possible presence of life on an alien planet, scientists have discovered another planet similar to earth that could support life, just outside our solar system. According to reports, the
In a new study, researchers, it has been discovered that new fossil found in southeast African country of Namibia reinforces the theory suggesting that the world’s first mass extinction was caused due to the planet's
Furthering its endeavour to reveal the hidden mysteries of the universe, US-based NASA is now training its focus on hunting Earth-sized planets nearby. The scout begins with the launch of the planet-hunting Transiting Exoplanet Survey
