- 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.
Jul 29, 2024 · However, Greaves warned, even the presence of both phosphine and ammonia wouldn’t be evidence of microbial life on Venus, because there’s so much information missing about the state of...
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 · Astronomers have detected a chemical in Venus’ atmosphere that signifies life on Earth. Could it mean the same on Venus?

Oct 28, 2023 · This discovery "bolsters" the possibility that microbial life once existed on Venus and further showcases how similar Earth — in volume, mass, density, size and now tectonic plates — is to the...
