Lofarl Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 Looks like Bowie got it wrong. It’s to be announced today that they have found phosphine in the atmosphere of Venus. http://astrobiology.com/2020/09/phosphine-detected-in-the-atmosphere-of-venus---an-indicator-of-possible-life.html Have any P&Brs ever discovered microbial life in a distant planet? Or been to Venus? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hillonearth Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 I remember reading old science fiction books where they reckoned Venus was probably a hot swampy jungle and the best bet elsewhere in the solar system for life - then the Russians sent a couple of probes and found it was more like a medieval depiction of hell. I still don't think we've ever sent anything there that's lasted any great amount of time before ceasing transmission thanks to the temperature (7-800 degrees?) atmospheric pressure...oh aye...and sulphuric acid clouds! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was not only in science fiction. No less than Carl Sagan himself was theorising on the possibility of terraforming Venus in the early 1960s. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
