Nov 6, 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.
Jul 28, 2023 · We don’t know for sure, though, and looking for evidence of past life on Venus is almost impossible with current technologies. Although orbiters can teach us a lot about a planet, to search for signs of past life we need to take a much closer look.
There has been very little analysis of Venusian surface material, so it is possible that evidence of past life, if it ever existed, could be found with a probe capable of enduring Venus's current extreme surface conditions.
