Life on Venus? The Impossible Discovery in the Clouds

Описание: Venus is the deadliest planet in the Solar System. It is a literal hell with temperatures hitting 870°F (465°C), crushing pressure 92 times higher than Earth’s, and rain made of pure sulfuric acid. Nothing should survive here.

But scientists may have just found the impossible.

In 2020, telescopes detected a "ghost" in the Venusian clouds: Phosphine. On Earth, this rare molecule is produced strictly by biology. Could this be proof of alien life floating in the upper atmosphere, or is it an error that will change astronomy forever?

In this episode of CosmoShock, we uncover the dark secrets of our "Evil Twin": The Transformation: How Venus went from a water-rich paradise to a runaway greenhouse nightmare. The Acid Trap: Understanding the most toxic atmosphere in the solar system. microbes The Discovery: What is Phosphine, and why are astronomers so shocked? Life in the Clouds: Can bacteria actually survive and reproduce in acid clouds? Future Missions: NASA's DAVINCI+ and VERITAS are going back to find the truth.

If life can survive on Venus, it can survive almost anywhere.

Let’s discuss in the comments: Do you think the Phosphine signal is proof of microbial life, or is there another explanation?
