"Deeper Discovery: Phosphine Found in Venus's Atmosphere Raises Questions about Life"

Astronomers have detected further evidence of phosphine, a molecule associated with biological activity, in the atmosphere of Venus. The team, led by Professor Jane Greaves from the University of Cardiff, collected data using the James Clark Maxwell Telescope (JCMT) in Hawaii, revealing the presence of phosphine both high in the Venusian atmosphere and on top of its clouds. This suggests that the phosphine comes from either the clouds or below them, raising the possibility of the presence of living organisms. While there is no direct evidence of life on Venus, the team believes that some of the data strengthens this unlikely scenario. Further investigations and upcoming missions to Venus are expected to shed more light on this mysterious molecule and the potential for life on the planet.
