Signs of Life discovered on Venus and atmosphere
On the other hand, we may have instead found evidence of a new abiotic form of phosphine synthesis— I expect scientists will be working hard to propose non-biological processes that could explain these results. I also expect some new Venus probes real soon now.This definitely could be the result of an unknown abiotic process. It also definitely could be evidence of life.Some papers to check out:- https://arxiv.org/abs/1910.05224- https://www.liebertpub.com/doi/10.1089/ast.2017.1783For 3 billion years, ending about 750 million years ago, Venus was likely hospitable, leaving the tantalizing possibility that we’ve detected the last vestiges of an ancient ecosystem.Self-promotion: we'll cover this in-depth in Orbital Index (https://orbitalindex.com) this week.
