Planetary Parade In February 2026: How And When To Watch Rare Six-Planet Alignment
According to NASA, at least one bright planet can be seen on most nights, depending on the weather.

Venus May Hide a Vast Underground Tunnel Formed by Ancient Volcanic Eruptions, Scientists Say
Scientists analysing NASA’s Magellan radar data have identified signs of a vast underground lava tunnel on Venus. If confirmed, it would be only the second such structure found on the planet, challenging the belief that Venus is geologically inactive and opening new possibilities for studying its volcanic past.

Planetary Parade In February 2026: When And How To Watch Six Planets Align In A Rare Sky Spectacle
Light pollution won't significantly hinder viewing, but clouds can be problematic, so clear skies are essential.

Why Venus Is the Brightest Morning Star Visible From Earth
Venus appears so bright in the sky due to reflective sulfuric acid clouds, its closeness to Earth, and sunlight scattering that creates optical effects like a glory.

Venus' Winds Race Around The Planet At Extreme Speeds Due To Solar Heat
New findings suggest that diurnal tides, driven by solar heat, are a major contributor to the extreme speeds of Venus's winds.
-
Scientists Finally Identify What Drives Venus’s Fast Winds
A new study has identified the primary force behind Venus’s extreme superrotating atmosphere: a once-per-day thermal tide driven by solar heating. Using data from Venus Express and Akatsuki along with circulation models, researchers show that this daily tide transports most of the momentum that accelerates cloud-top winds to speeds over 100 metre...

Scientists May Finally Explain Mysterious Crown-Like Features on Venus
Venus’ distinctive crown-like coronae may be explained by heat trapped beneath a rigid mantle layer, according to recent studies. This discovery provides key insights into the planet’s geological activity and helps researchers compare Venus’ surface evolution to that of other planets in our solar system

Not Like Venus Or Mars, Distant Exoplanet May Have Atmosphere Like Earth's
A distant exoplanet might have an atmosphere similar to Earth's, early observations from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) suggest. It is part of a group of planets orbiting a star called TRAPPIST-1, about 40 light-years away from Earth.
