Scientists have found evidence of phosphine gas in the atmosphere of Venus, which is a potential sign of life. This discovery was made by Jane Greaves at the Royal Astronomical Society’s National Astronomy Meeting in Cardiff.
Phosphine is a gas that is rarely found naturally on Earth. It is typically produced by living organisms or through industrial processes. While there are some non-biological ways for phosphine to form, these processes are unlikely to occur in the Venusian atmosphere.
The discovery of phosphine on Venus has sparked excitement about the possibility of life on this planet, but further research is needed to confirm this.
