Feb 23, 2021 · If life did arise on Venus, does it still exist? A new Johns Hopkins APL-led study provides a framework for estimating that chance. The Venus Life Equation calculates the probability that life currently exists on the second planet from the Sun by focusing on the likelihood of each of three factors: origination, robustness and continuity.
