Signs of Life Found on Venus I NOVA I PBS 

What if the aliens sprayed Phosphine there just to mess with us, and they're laughing their ass off behind the sun?

From what I understand, Venus is as hot as it is because of "greenhouse" effect. Two questions: 1. How long does it take phosphine to break down? and 2. Is it possible that life may have existed there once and what we are seeing is only the "footprint"?

Here’s my hypothesis: everything in 2020 has a 20% higher chance of happening, good or bad.

makes me so excited, even if it turns out to be nothing, it's still amazing.

I’ve been saying for years we need to get more missions to Venus

I imagine signs of life like this is common in the universe but actual complex or even Intelligent life is rare.

Stop your wars and send some probes !!

I am a type of person who doesn't really care about astronomy but this is so interesting that i already watch every video about it. 👀

Yeah pretty BIG DEAL. TFS, G :)

Carl Sagan in heaven : they call me a mad man.

this is definitely fascinating, even if it’s not life it’s still going to be a major discovery and will change how we think of phosphine production

Thoughts on aliens: Life of “aliens” shouldnt be compared to how it is here on earth. This is what “alien” life form means. Different from us. We are looking for creatures like us that act like us and something we can relate to. Life on other planets can be completely different than anything we could imagine. Finding aliens will probably be random as in we’ll make some mistake and detect a way to communicate with them and our minds will be blown.

I'm crossing all my pseudopods that this is life...

Another reason why I want to become an astronomer.

It couldn't have happened to a lovelier planet.

I don't wanna mess with anyone who can survive life on venus

We can only hope it's true. How exciting would that be!

)))) life..... We are alive. We are life. But we evolved.... ....from eukaryotic cells. But those too were not created by God, they too evolved. Our earth evolved and so did our sun. Actually not only did our earth evolve from a dust cloud, so did our sun. So what is "life"? That which can replicate? But stars can replicate, aren't stars in my family tree? Why not? ... Answer everything is "life" and "as live". Everything evolved including time, space, gravity and light. The only thing that is stable is interdependence.

Carl Sagan was right, about the possibility of life in Venusian clouds. And he was observing UV reflections, not phosphene. Put together, these 2 different lines of evidence show that microbial life is more probable than not

Eliminate all other possible sources of Phosphine in Venus... This is really something super exciting

It might be the atmosphere that has capabilities to produce phosphine without life, they should not claim the presence of life on venus by just knowing that only life can produce phosphine. We should think from all the angles possible.

If this is confirmed, Jane Reeves will go down in history as the woman who discovered alien life. That is spectacular.

Jeff goldblum: I'm simply saying life uh finds a way.

I will get excited when they find DMT on Venus

The problem is we’re assuming all life in the universe is the same as ours some animals can survive in Antarctica and some can survive in the desert all life is different saying all life can only be the exact same is what’s Preposterous

I'm not genius, but I'm so interested in everything

Its call a earth's sister planet for a reason, because most women came to earth from there, that's why scientists has yet to understand or figure out their behavior. 😆

I mean it could be some time of living species that lives in very extreme hot wheather so maybe it is produced by life.

I wanna say something about Russia and Venus but the only thing it has to do with the topic is that it is in Venus

Sara Seager: "....never thought in my life that it would be something we should look for on Venus". Hmmm, considering she co-authored an MIT paper headed "Phosphene as a Biosignature gas on exoplanet atmospheres" - sounds legit. As for Clara Sousa-Silva, considering she works at MIT also, for her to imply the only craft sent to Venus "melted on the way down" seems extremely Americentric considering Russia sent a few there and became the first country to land there. Venera 8 was the first fully successful landing on another planet and sent back data in 1972. Venera 9 sent back photos of the surface. How would you not know that? I'm not American so I don't know how reliable Nova/PBS is as a source but either they are a joke or they don't care much for doing research. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_missions_to_Venus arxiv.org/ftp/arxiv/papers/1910/1910.05224.pdf

Ever realize when scientists make these kind of break throughs it’s usually because they tried it a different way rather than what they were taught.

Hopefully this is true and life can evolve there or elsewhere in some manner when we're gone.

Oh thank goodness I now might have a backstory to my sci fi story I am working on. They were sky based creatures that rarely went to the surface.

It's 800 degrees aint no life just Chemicals

God said. Don’t. Look or. Try. To. Reach. Me. I will reach. You. God. Bless. ❤

When I turn 10 I want to land on the Goldilocks zone part of Venus that has life 🌕🌏

NASA mulls possible mission to Venus after recent discovery of possible life Thu, September 17, 2020 10:02 pm NASA is considering approving by next April up to planetary science missions one to Venus that scientists involved in the project said could help determine whether or not that planet harbors life. An international research team on Monday described evidence of potential microbes residing in the harshly acidic Venusian clouds: traces of phosphine, a gas that on Earth is produced by bacteria inhabiting oxygen-free environments. It provided strong potential evidence of life beyond Earth. The proposal is now being reviewed by NASA to send robotic probe to Venus, called DAVINC+, into the Venusian atmosphere. David Grinspoon, an astrobiologist working on the DAVINCI+, proposal told Reuters on Tuesday. The three other proposals include: IVO, a mission to Jupiter's volcanically active moon Io; Trident, a fly-by trek to map Neptune's icy moon Triton; and VERITAS, the second of the proposed Venus missions that instead would focus on understanding the planet's geological history. NASA has said it may choose one or two of the missions. In light of Monday's findings, NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine said that is "time to prioritize Venus." In a statement, Bridenstine said the selection process for the new potential missions will be tough "but I know the process will be fair and unbiased." DR.MOHAMMAD LAEEQUE NADVI Ph.D. (Arabic Lit.)

So neat. My curiosity is piqued for sure! Life is probably very common all over the universe.

let’s agree life’s on every planet tbh... it’s evolution and the universe man

Life on Mars?

So no. Life wasn't found on Venus.

How excited humans are to find any form of life on other planets and here on earth...

0:58 life as we know it*

Okay so how can we make this discovery attributed to a man? I mean so it gets taken seriously and explored?

Look I know extremophiles are tough Microsoft but, how on this hell planet could they survive

Tesla’s home planet

The possibility of life on Venus is exciting and amazing, but a good dose of skepticism is also healthy. Contrary to what some media reports are saying, there could be another explanation. Admittedly I'm no expert, but I did come across a technical paper describing how inorganic natural processes could create phosphine. To quote part of its abstract, "The tentative experiments show that phosphine gas could be produced by aqueous or acid corrosion from phosphorus-containing impurities in iron. The concentration of phosphine liberated by aqueous corrosion was of the same order of magnitude (ng/kg) as those detected in natural environment. Acid could accelerate corrosion and promote the production of phosphine. The quantity of phosphine liberated by 0.5 mol/L sulfuric acid corrosion was three magnitude orders (ug/kg) higher than that in aqueous corrosion, which may provide a convincing explanation for the significant occurrence of phosphine in strong acidic condition (landfill gas, anaerobic fermentation gas, etc)." We know that the Venusian atmosphere is loaded with sulfuric acid. Perhaps it coming into contact with and corroding iron deposits on the surface could produce the relatively large quantities of phosphine that are being detected. Even if the rate of production is small, substantial quantities could accumulate in the atmosphere if there is no natural mechanism to flush them out (as rainfall would on Earth). So Venusian life isn't the only possible explanation.

Theory: It’s more likely that someone farted inside the probe that was sent to Venus decades ago. The fart built up in the atmosphere over many years and walla, life in Venus; although little bit smelly 😅

I hope everyone understands that its actually STUPID to think that life on earth is the ONLY life in our universe.

Once microbes are found on Venus: Insert jokes about new venereal diseases found on Venus.

20 seconds in to the video - a COMMERCIAL -- then another one at 1:08. Is this RU-vid doing this, or is it this RU-vid channel!??

Hot enough to melt lead? We could help by blowing the clouds away .

There has to be life somewhere else. Otherwise all of natural science is terribly wrong and should be discounted

Lemme find a random goku in venus

Their own expertise and our money while people are homeless on the only planet life exists on as far as we know.

cool

Nope the people who did find phosphine were British so WTF..???

Signs of life? More like a tantalising hint of life ....

im so exited for the future and to meet these extra terrestrial life

We will figure out a way to ruin it.

me: space is pretty..... also me: pretty weird.

This is not correct what about the latest findings of water/ice

We sent a space probe to the surface of Venus, correct? That space probe obviously had to pass through Venus's atmosphere. So if the probe carried any microbes in its crevices, some of those microbes could have contaminated Venus's atmosphere and made a new home there, resulting in the phosphene we're detecting. Didn't something similar happen on the moon? They found bacteria on the moon (Streptococcus mitis) that had been accidently brought there by the Apollo missions.

The Conquest of Gola by Leslie F. Stone be like:

What if the probes brought bacteria there and accidentally started life

Please be real and associated with life!

They should have like a vacuum meaning a long rope stick it out of the ship and used the thrusters to send it to the planet and suck the organism up

O wow that is so cool hope we well git to see somthing.

This happened in the 90's with Mars. Don't think so.

This is awesome! Lex Fridman, has a great interview with Dr. Sara Seager. It was before this news, though.

Two things... We are sure a the probes we sent were sterile? Why are we certain that this chemical can only be created by bio when Earth and Venus have different chemistry?

Good 2 know.

What if another race of people lived on Venus and the aliens exterminated them by using the phosphine clouds

America needs to explore the surface of Venus because the only good pictures of the surface of Venus suck

Stop playin yall. I pooted on venus

Venus is my favorite planet

the discoverer - Prof Jane Greaves from Cardiff University - was inspired by what Carl Sagan hypothesised in the 1960's. to her surprise, she found that no one had bothered to actually check the hypothesis. she was at a loose end so she thought "why not?". Science sometimes takes awhile but it usually gets there in the end.

This piece would be more enjoyable if you cut out the background noise

What is the difference between phosphorus and phosphine?

damn We are so insignificant and small in this large universe. Makes you think about life and perspective

I am Venus 👁👅👁

Even if it''s a hundred square miles left it still life !

yes aliens exists!!!

Jupiter also has phosphine gas. A whole lot of it actually.

U people say venus is so hot, I wonder how u saw the surface

Can it just be waste products of our activity here on earth over the past thousands of years?

It's impossible to have life its to hot...

All kinds of NOPE; turns out it's just plain ol' Sulfur Dioxide; not phosphine, not a marker of life - just a big nothing burger. Retraction coming soon? Don't hold your breath.

A fetus is just a clump of cells. But microbes moving on Venus? Life.

Phosphine and phosgene are not the same thing. Smh. Who are these people?

Isn't it just from the probes we sent and melted into it's atmosphere? With phosphate silver and zinc batteries?

You couldn’t confirm life in neighboring Venus and you tell me you can in exoplanets 😱 Get out of here 🤪

What a joke. They call themselves scientists!

2:47 way to flex , literally unneccesary LMAO

Some amino acids. A little lightning. My pen pal from Venus writes. " Who do you like on Thursday night football? " I love sci fi but. This life crap is about people justifying their existence. Sadly gvmt research is all about getting funded. Clicks get $$$$..

It is sad that many people still believe in this fraud...

Everybody is jumping to conclusions and the writers of the original report even say in the report that this is not evidence of life. Just that they don't currently know of another way that it could have been made there. That it could be some natural process that has nothing to do with life that we just don't know about it understand yet. Thanks for the click bait though and for not mentioning that bit of info...

I made the Phosphine. It was me. I went up to the First Class bathroom because that was the only one I saw, and I just let it rip.

Forget venus think how we can exist in mars.....that should be the goal....
