When an asteroid strikes, there's typically at least one undeniable outcome: an asteroid mess. The most obvious part of this mess tends to come in the form of a nice and cinematic crater, but there's ...

A recent paper suggests that if astrobiologists want to make an educated guess about what life on Venus might look like, they ...

This will take your breath away. New research on elements found in the gaseous clouds of Venus could be a sign of life for what was thought to be an uninhabitable planet. The skies of the scorching ...

A new approach to estimating the likelihood of life on Venus has been proposed by researchers at NASA’s Ames Research Center, reviving the debate over whether Earth’s closest planetary neighbor may ...

Four years ago, back in 2020, a group of scientists at Cardiff University in the UK discovered phosphine in the clouds on Venus. This significant discovery, the researchers said, showed that a gas ...

Scientists say they have found more evidence of gas molecules on Venus that could, among other things, point to the possibility of life on the planet. Venus, the closest planet to Earth, has an ...

Venus, the second planet from our Sun, vividly demonstrates why the greenhouse effect makes life impossible. With an average surface temperature of roughly 1000º F (500º C) under a toxic atmosphere ...

Scientists have detected a gas called "phosphine" in the toxic atmosphere of Venus, which on Earth could originate from the presence of life. In an article published Monday in Nature Astronomy, a ...

"We therefore caution against the use of phosphine as a biosignature until these discrepancies are resolved." The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has discovered phosphine in the atmosphere of a ...

A spacecraft was en route to Venus when phosphine happened to be spotted. The astronomy community lit up earlier this week with news that hinted at possible signs of life on Venus. Among the most ...
