The announcement of the detection of a possible biomarker in the atmosphere of Venus has shook up the field of astrobiology and grabbed headlines across the world. Today, we explore why Venus could plausibly host life, how this detection was made, and whether it really means that we've finally found extraterrestrial life. Written and presented by Prof Kipping, featuring guest Dr Caleb Scharf.

The thing i never understood about people’s views on alien life is why they are so quick to assume no life can survive on planets without an earth-like atmosphere and temps with water and stuff? Isnt evolution a thing? Whos to say life on other planets didnt adapt to survive scorching heat, high pressure and no oxygen?

@j0k3rxviii35 3 года назад

That’s why I really like this theory. It’s results are from the hypothesis that these potential microorganisms may have evolved to survive within the clouds of Venus. 👍🏻

@chinmayaprakash 3 года назад

Exactly! And I'm sure that we are not alone in understanding that. Evolution is a process and can lead to some bizarre manifestations of life even on our planet… some can survive even in extremely high temperatures and others can survive without oxygen. And without breaking a sweat, we assimilate them into our overarching view of life as oddities. Labelling them as thermophiles and anaerobes is so much more comfortable than pondering the possibility of life beyond carbon-based life architecture. For example, silicon is a viable although less elegant alternative to carbon as a candidate for forming the backbone of life. But perhaps we are searching for life which is somewhat similar to life on earth because the selfish creatures that we are, we are hoping to find another planet to colonise even though that desire might not be explicit or even viable. At this point with our technological prowess, we can't even colonise mars. But technology evolution is also a thing, and who knows what tomorrow might bring. Terraforming a planet with earth-like conditions would be so much easier if we intend to colonise an alien planet in the future.

@davebowles1957 3 года назад

Venus was the first planet to ever be reached by a space probe. In 1962, Mariner 2 flew within 34,400 kilometers of the surface of Venus and transmitted to Earth information about its temperature and details about its atmosphere and rotational period. The Soviet probe, Venera 7 was the first probe to land on Venus. Unfortunately, it was put out of operation within an hour by Venus' high temperature. In 1982, Venera 13 transmitted the first color pictures from Venus' surface. The Orbiter of Pioneer Venus was launched on May 20, 1978. It entered an orbit around Venus in December of that same year. Its primary objectives were to investigate the solar wind in the Venusian environment, use radar imaging to map Venus' surface and study the characteristics of the Venusian upper atmosphere and ionosphere. Most of the Orbiter instruments were still working when the probe entered the Venusian atmosphere in October of 1992. The Magellan spacecraft, launched in 1989, arrived at Venus on August 10, 1990. Before its demise in October 1994, Magellan was able to collect radar images of 98% of Venus' surface.

Even considering that I was fired from my job today, this news about the possibility of life on Venus is by far much more exciting than the other news that I became today. Some decades ago I read about a mysterious "absorber" in the clouds of Venus (sorry I don't have the references any more, it was in some old book about the planet, perhaps a book from the 60th years). When we gaze at the planet in ultraviolet light we see certain patches of dark in the clouds of Venus, indicating the presence of some unknown absorber to UV-light in the clouds. Could the phosphine be related to this weird UV-absorber? Or are they both indications of life? Since I read these speculations about the mysterious UV-absorber I never gave up the idea of someday discover life on Venus.

@Dragrath1 3 года назад

Sorry to hear about you getting fired from your job yes the mysterious absorber is still unsolved and in fact the case for possible Venusian biology has only grown thanks to recent discoveries that have tied the absorber to chemical in balances in the planets atmosphere and even the sustained atmospheric super-rotation. With each discovery the case only grows stronger. There is even somewhat controversial evidence from the Venera descent probes for elongated rod shaped micron sized particles in the upper cloud tops of Venus. Of course another similarly controversial finding was the presence of phosphorus identified by X ray spectroscopy but this finding here kind of directly confirms that which serves to strengthen some of the other soviet probe findings. Only further studies will be able to assess whether these claims continue to hold up but the evidence seems to be growing stronger!

NASA actually had a concept for going to Venus called the High Altitude Venus Operational Concept or HAVOC. You can just change Concept to Craft if you do it. The idea was a blimp that floats in the clouds of Venus where a pair of scientist can do experiments and make observation before climbing into a rocket in the back, dropping down and then launching back into orbit. Eventually this would lead to an idea of a cloud city. Isaac Arthur has an episode about that too Colonizing Venus. Personal, I hope this discover gets more people interested in Venus and maybe even get people interested in going to Venus.

An interesting idea would be to send a longterm robotic mission which explored the zone of the atmosphere which is hospitable to life (and presumeably probes) in situ using a buoyancy concept to remain aloft. They could combine this with an orbiting satellite which synched up regularly and relayed data to Earth. We could learn a lot about chemistry of the upper atmosphere by direct measurements in the clouds combined with spectroscopy from an orbiter.

Why of course there is life in the universe. Why are we so scared to know otherwise? Why do we listen to those naysayers who say with conviction, "No, there is no life out there in the sky but here on Earth." Why do we give our power away to these small minded folks, when we can truly know otherwise. Maybe because our mindset is geared towards belief rather than knowledge - where we believe what others say because they look professional, look good in a suit, or is very persuassive in their speaking and manner. But any of these folks can be small minded, since they also do not know everything more or less than you and me. Therefore, the only one you and me can truly rely on is our knowledge and our striving for the truth, sharing knowledge in true form of sharing, and the striving of the truth from listening to those who talk but always we ourselves have the last word in our thoughts and feelings in mulling over what another say - we develop skills to know if what we hear is true or is false. And if we judge what other says is true, we still have to be open minded that in future, with new better apparatuses, new better measuring instruments, what we see as truth can be proven false, wrong or better yet crystallize to a greater truth, to see what we work at as truth is in reality true. It is truly a wondrous time to live, but we can't truly know if we listen to others in belief. So it is now time to develop knowledge, to develop understanding about our universe and our role in it. To have hope for a better tomorrow, a better today, since our world is truly majestic since it is part of a wider ever expanding universe. A universe, with furthering gathering of knowledge, can be seen for what it is, the wonder of all wonders.

The patent ID number on ID2020 (the cashless system approaching by the end of next month) is literally 060606. Published by Microsoft Inc themselves. patentscope.wipo.int/search/en/detail.jsf?docId=WO2020060606 Bill Gates said that anybody who does not take it will be excluded from society - both economically and societal. And if you've read the Bible, the Book of Revelations exactly, you'd know that this is the mark of the beast. Anybody who takes this is headed automatically straight to hell. There is no salvation for that person. They will face the wrath of God. Revelation 13:16-17 King James Version 16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: 17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. The reason they are doing all these life on Venus and alien video is because they know the rapture is going to happen soon. So they are trying to delude you guys into thinking that the Christians who suddenly disappeared were taken by aliens. This is not the truth. Repent and turn to God before it is too late.

@aldoushuxley5953 3 года назад

@@p3el_ there have been a couple previous findings which suggest life on mars. The LR test is particularily interesting, because it was actually an experiment designed to proof life in the martian soil, and they actually succeded. However, because the other two viking experiments failed, the result is still controversial. Still, there is a decent chance, that the viking mission already found life back then

@aldoushuxley5953 3 года назад

@@p3el_ you do not necessarily need an atmosphere for life. a few centimeters of water block almost all high energy radiation. The fact, that we do have evidence for liquid water (I can get into that more if you want) also suggests, that mars had a relatively thick atmosphere up to 3.5 Ga, because otherwise it was slightly outside the habitable zone (the atmosphere results in a greenhouse effect). The atmosphere likely vanished around 3.5 Ga, when the magnetic field started to disappear because tectonic activity stopped

It would be interesting to see if future observations saw a link between the darker particles in Venus’ atmosphere that some people already think are signs of organisms in the clouds to the concentrations/distribution of the newly detected gas.

@Dragrath1 3 года назад

Yeah especially since the unknown UV absorbing particles are already associated with sulfur dioxide fluctuations which is a gas that sulfur respiring microbes use for respiration on Earth and a gas which doesn't last long in the Venusian atmosphere tending to react with water vapor or related species to form sulfuric acid.

@xtieburn 3 года назад

I thought it would be fascinating to go back to learn about the planet itself and to take on the enormous technical challenge of surviving in that habitat. (The Russian engineers did some amazing work to get their probe operating for any length of time, and since then weve created high temperature equipment that could extend the life of instruments to days, or even weeks.) I did not imagine new missions could be spurred on by the prospect of finding life... - Up in the atmosphere is a very different yet equally interesting challenge to the ground based probes, and whats the worst that can happen once the results are confirmed and such things should be considered? Developing new technology and probes, new understanding of biomarkers, and new chemistry to document. All of that could happen long before a single microbe is found. (Which Im not getting my hopes up for just yet.) - Its exciting on all sorts of different levels, and any way you look at it returning to our sister is long over due.

Every planet could have some form of life, that's what I think. Life evolves in many ways. Even Jupiter has life(in a way,) BUT it is in a certain part of the gas clouds, that's because the asteroids that Jupiter basically eats can have microbes that drop off in the gas clouds of Jupiter(In fact, all the gas planets can have life by just microbes dropping off from asteroids). Even pluto might have some life, and if the Kuiper belt was hotter, there would be hundreds of planets that could have some form of life.

Id assume its origins are from the same place as all the rest of the life we know of in the universe came from.. And is composed of. Where did life on earth come from? I couldnt have suddenly formed from nothing one day. Earth wasnt even around forever! It too was created at one point. Where it all ultimately comes from? Well im convinced we may never know**, but for now, a general / as vague as it gets kinda answer such as "cosmic dust" suffices. **and this is due to our own ways. We can get along long enough to finish a meal FFS! We can't see each other as humans and thats it for shit! We're rapidly limiting the very precious time we have left on this planet, pissing it away like its our job. (The environment). The one thing humans have mastered, is killing eachother, we got that down. You think we'll suddenly, significantly, & drastically change before it's too late for the enviromment? Or rapidly advance as a race quick enough to become not only a space fairing species, but to also actually have a shot of making that work out long run, before we die with the planet? Or do you think we're gonna stick to our super petty ways and materialistic crap and worry about things that will never matter instead? The Kardashev rating of 1, for us? Its a fantasy only..

I’m not surprised but reassured that Cool Worlds would mount a timely, rational inquiry into this announcement, and the plausibility of the (often wild) projections. Open-minded weighing, winnowing and plumbing the empiridia (my neologism) gives a measured perspective. And so far it seems “life” is probably too big a fish for this development to haul up. But phosphine as a possible biosignature adds sweep to our net in the Magellanic search for abiogenesis.
