A new study suggests that phosphine has been found deeper in Venus's atmosphere than previously observed, indicating the possibility of microorganisms lower in the atmosphere.

Traces of Phosphine in Venus' atmosphere raise excitement for potential life beyond Earth

In the Venusian haze, researchers have discovered traces of phosphine, which may be a sign of extraterrestrial life. This substance was discovered in the Venusian Clouds, while the presence of traces of grass was first reported in 2020. However, a recent study claims that phosphine has now been discovered further into Venus' atmosphere.

Search for alien life has been of interest for centuries. Movies and books are full of alien attacks on Earth. Mars has always been in focus for alien life. But our other neighbour Venus needs a good look as well.

Is there life on Venus? Here's what Cambridge University researchers say

Search for extraterrestrial life is a fascinating endevour. While popular image of aliens has them having tentacles and big eyes etc, even microbes on another planet can be called aliens.

India is going to Venus! After its trips to the Moon and Mars, Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) wants to discover the mysteries of the hottest planet. Venus is a complex planet due to its dense atmosphere and surface activity. The air pressure on the surface of Venus is extremely high. About 90 times greater than the pressure at sea level on Earth. Several features of Venus make it stand out amongst the other planets of the Solar System. Here's wishing ISRO a successful mission, which is likely to take place in 2025.
