- It's not possible for life to exist in the clouds of Venus. It's simply too dry, says an international research team led from Queen's University Belfast, UK. Hopes had been raised last year that microbes might inhabit the Venusian atmosphere, given the presence there of the gas phosphine (PH3).

Sep 14, 2020 · According to the researchers, the known abiotic processes are unlikely to have produced the abundances of phosphine - around 20 parts per billion (ppb) - found in the Venusian cloud decks.
Sep 14, 2020 · Is there microbial life in the atmosphere of Earth's closest neighbor, Venus? An international team of astronomers has found tentative but highly compelling evidence.
Sep 14, 2020 · Astronomers at MIT, Cardiff University, and elsewhere may have observed signs of life in the atmosphere of Venus. If the evidence, indicating the presence of the molecule phosphine, is indeed associated with life, it must be some sort of “aerial” life-form in Venus’ clouds.
Sep 14, 2020 · In Clouds on Venus, New Potential for Microbial Life. Astronomers have detected a chemical in Venus’ atmosphere that signifies life on Earth. Could it mean the same on Venus?

Sep 14, 2020 · Telescopes have detected unusually high concentrations of the molecule phosphine—a stinky, flammable chemical typically associated with feces, farts and rotting microbial activity—in an...
Sep 14, 2020 · Presence of phosphine raises intriguing possibilities, but explanations could be mundane. Scientists have detected an unstable and unexpected gas in Venus's atmosphere that, on Earth, is commonly produced by some microbes.
Feb 1, 2017 · If all goes as planned, an unmanned aerial vehicle could one day be cruising the thick, sulfuric acid clouds of Venus to help determine whether dark streaks that appear to absorb ultraviolet radiation could be evidence of microbial life.
