Unlikely
- On June 14, 2022, researchers at the University of Cambridge said they’ve now studied whether microbial life could exist in Venus’ atmosphere. And they’ve said it’s unlikely. At the same time, other new studies from Greaves and her team reinforce the existence of phosphine.

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 · 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 · 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.
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...
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 · 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...

Jan 6, 2022 · It is possible, researchers say, that these ancient organisms adapted to the changing conditions on Venus and eventually found a new home within its thick atmosphere. Scientists are skeptical that fossil remains exist on the Venusian surface due to continuous and destructive volcanic activity.
