Scientists in 2020 detected the presence of phosphine gas in the clouds of Venus. That discovery led to much debate and excitement about the presence of life on Venus given that phosphine is a molecule associated with biological activity on Earth. In an exciting development, Jane Greaves and her team have detected phosphine at deeper level in Venus' atmosphere than …
Clouds of Venus too dry to support life, study finds 研究发现金星云层太干无法维持生命 Play audio file 英国贝尔法斯特女王大学带领的一支国际研究团队认为，由于金星的云层实在太干燥，生命不可能存在于那里。 It’s an audacious idea: the notion that microorganisms could be floating through the atmosphere of Venus. 但人们需要对金星大气层中为什么存在磷化氢作出解释。在地球上，这种气体与生命息息相关，与某些动物，比如企鹅肠道内的微生物有关。 This new study, however, finds that whatever the source of phosphine, it’s highly unlikely to be microorganisms – because there simply isn’t enough water in the clouds to …
A mysterious chemical signature, detected in 2020, in the skies of Venus had created a new buzz around the planet as scientists speculated it could be signs of microbial life in the thick atmosphere. Volcanic activity could be triggering phosphine Researchers said that volcanic eruptions from the surface could bring phosphorous loaded compounds from the deep layers of the surface …
Months after a study suggested the idea of life floating in the clouds of planet Venus, an international team of researchers led from Queen's University Belfast, UK, has dismissed such a possibility. The Belfast researchers assessed the conditions in the clouds of Venus that are mostly sulphuric acid with a tiny fraction of water. “Our research shows that the sulphuric …
