Potential for life in Venus detected

This is developing news Scientists spot potential sign of life in Venus atmosphere

The researchers say they haven’t directly detected life on Venus, but they have observed the chemical phosphine in the atmosphere, which they say can be explained only by the presence of living microbes. On Earth, bacteria produce phosphine.

“Any organisms on Venus will probably be very different to their Earth cousins, but they too could be the source of phosphine in the atmosphere,” the researchers said in a news release.

I think Earth socially distancing from Venus will be an effective strategy for this

Hi

We want to see the same type of life that we're accustomed to... Carbone-based... What if it were different? An exemple:

Possibility of Silicon-based Life grows

yeppers. Hot enough to melt solder and it rains sulfuric acid.
Any life forms there are gonna be some bad-a$$ed momma-jammas.

Phosphine is also present in the atmospheres of Jupiter and Saturn: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0019103509001328

I think linking it’s presence to life on Venus is a bit of a stretch.

Regardless of their chemistry, it is almost warrantied they will be completely different from us (in fact, alien!), and it will be very difficult to communicate with them. An excellent book about is Dragon's Egg, or this recent and excellent movie:

I agree: we'll see how the news develop...

My speaker cables have 3% phosphine injected into the jacket for more life like performance. Now I know why they sound so realistic.

Looks like Venus could use few trees and rivers, lakes, oceans, mountains, forest management, climate change, global warming, electric cars, wind turbines, solar panels, 5G telecommunications, wildlife, blue skies, white clouds, clean air, oxygen, fridges and ridges, grocery stores and 5-stars hotels.

One of my favorite movies.

Don't forget HiFi systems!

There is enough global warming i think?

An excellent book about is Dragon's Egg

Thanks for the tip, seems to be a hard to find book though.

detected in the atmosphere - NOT the surface

Yes, Dragon's Egg is a very good book .

Arrival is based (plagiarized ?) from a novel of Frank Herbert (Try To Remember And Six Other Short Stories).
