Scientists detect potential sign of extraterrestrial life on Venus

[tacobell fan]

On Monday, scientists said they have detected a gas called phosphine in the acidic clouds of Venus that indicates microbes may inhabit Earth’s neighbor, raising questions of potential life beyond Earth.

They don't have any use but we want oil

I think they cookup these stories to get more funding from the govt , there is very little chance that life forms exist in our solar system apart from earth ... surface temp of venus is more than 800F there is no way that a carbon based biological forms exists at that temperature .... ironically , this phosphene gas the're talking abt was used as a chemical weapon during WW 1 & 2

seems to be an error in observation. 

Still, ALMA observatory scientist John Carpenter is skeptical that the phosphine observations themselves are real. The signal is faint, and the team needed to perform an extensive amount of processing to pull it from the data returned by the telescopes. That processing, he says, may have returned an artificial signal at the same frequency as phosphine. He also notes that the standard for remote molecular identification involves detecting multiple fingerprints for the same molecule, which show up at different frequencies on the electromagnetic spectrum. That’s something that the team has not yet done with phosphine.

“They took the right steps to verify the signal, but I’m still not convinced that this is real,” Carpenter says. “If it’s real, it’s a very cool result, but it needs follow-up to make it really convincing.”

Sousa-Silva agrees that the team needs to confirm the phosphine detection by finding additional fingerprints at other wavelengths. She and her colleagues had planned such observations using the Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy, a plane-mounted telescope, and with NASA’s Infrared Telescope Facility in Hawaii. But COVID-19 got in the way, and the team’s attempts have been put on hold.
