Video - Is There Life on Venus? The Phosphine Mystery Unveiled!
“Hold on! Did you know Venus might be hiding life in its clouds? that's right life on Venus! “Four years ago, scientists detected phosphine in Venus’ clouds, a gas linked to life on Earth. This finding faced controversy as other observations failed to confirm it. “But now, the same team is back with more data, they offer stronger proof that phosphine is present in Venus’ atmosphere. “Venus, Earth’s evil twin, has extreme surface temperatures and corrosive clouds. On Earth, phosphine is a toxic gas produced by decaying organic matter or bacteria.” “Using a new receiver on the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope, the team gathered 140 times more data, leading to more confident phosphine detections. “Another team found ammonia, another potential biomarker, suggesting life, if present, might use it to breathe.” “Phosphine was detected during Venus’ transition from the night to a day, explaining its absence in other observations. “Intrigued?
