After the discovery of a gas that provides strong evidence of the presence of living organisms in Venus, NASA is considering giving approval to a mission to the planet on the solar system.&nbsp;

On Monday, a team of scientists confirmed the presence of phosphine in Venus, a flammable gas present on Earth which provides evidence of the existence of living organisms.&nbsp;

The US space agency is reveiwing four proposals, including two robotic probes on Venus, which can be approved by next April.&nbsp;

One of the proposals is called DAVINCI+, which intends to probe the Venusian atmosphere.

"Davinci is the logical one to choose if you're motivated in part by wanting to follow this up - because the way to follow this up is to actually go there and see what's going on in the atmosphere," said David Grinspoon, an astrobiologist working on the DAVINCI+ proposal, as quoted by news agency Reuters.&nbsp;

The name of the second proposal on Venus is VERITAS, that would target on understanding the planet's geological history.&nbsp;

Earlier NASA chief Jim Bridenstine called the findings about Venus "most significant development" and called for "prioritising Venus".&nbsp;

"Life on Venus? The discovery of phosphine, a byproduct of anaerobic biology, is the most significant development yet in building the case for life off Earth," he said on Twitter.&nbsp;
