- It's possible that once —billions of years ago— Venus had life on it. The rocky planet is a "scorching wasteland" according to scientists, but long ago a shift in its tectonic plates could have led it to sustain life, a new study suggests.

Nov 6, 2023 · Venus, a scorching wasteland of a planet according to scientists, may have once had tectonic plate movements similar to those believed to have occurred on early Earth, a new study found. The finding sets up tantalizing scenarios regarding the possibility of early life on Venus, its evolutionary past, and the history of the solar system.
Oct 26, 2023 · Simulations produced by a Brown-led research team offer evidence that Venus once had plate tectonics — a finding that opens the door for the possibility of early life on the planet and insights into its history.
Oct 26, 2023 · Despite broad similarities to the Earth in mass and size, Venus has no evidence of plate tectonics recorded on its young surface, and Venus’ atmosphere is strikingly different. New research from Brown University offers evidence that Venus had plate tectonics billions of years ago.
Oct 31, 2023 · One reason: Earth has active plate tectonics – rigid land plates moving slowly over an underlying hot, dense mantle – while Venus does not. But maybe Venus had plate tectonics in the...
