If there’s life on Venus, where did it come from?
- Researchers have examined various possibilities for how life may have arrived at Venus.
- Chemical signatures in the atmosphere suggest the possibility of life, but no confirmation has been made.
- One possibility is that Venus got its life from Earth.
In case you hadn't heard, the biggest scientific news of the month is the discovery of what might be a biosignature of life on another planet. No, it's Mars — though that would be really cool — It's Venus, one of the most hostile places in our solar system. The discovery comes in the form of a chemical that is known to be produced by biological processes. It's in the planet's atmosphere in a higher concentration than should theoretically be possible without the presence of life. But if there is life on Venus, where is it? And how did it get there in the first place?
In a new essay published in The Conversation, researchers from Australia offer their own take on the discovery and engage in a bit of guessing as to how the planet may be hosting life if it actually is.
