"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. About 10 years ago NASA discovered microbial life at 120,000ft in Earth’s upper atmosphere. It’s time to prioritize Venus." - Jim Bridenstine, NASA Administrator
Could this be the most important moment in human history? The discovery of life on another planet is seemingly tangible thanks to the discovery of high levels of phosphite gas in Venus's atmosphere.
