Venus: Is There Life On Our Sister Planet?

Показать описание
The moment we prove life exists outside of Earth, will be a turning point for mankind.
But how do you imagine this moment would unfold?
For example, we theorised for many years that liquid water could be present on Mars. We found small clues, pointing towards its existence.
Today, it is an undeniable fact that water can be found on Mars; and we also know that in the ancient past, it was plentiful.
This is how we should imagine the process of finding life outside of Earth. Tiny clues, slowly building into a mountain of evidence.

In 2019, a group of scientists wrote a paper about how we could possibly detect life on exoplanets using bio-signatures.
In their paper, they state the most promising chemical to look for, is phosphine.
On earth, it is produced by anaerobic ecosystems. Basically; organisms that don’t have access to oxygen.
We do not know of any other processes which produce this gas in large amounts. Therefore, if the gas is detected on an exoplanet, there must be significant amounts for that detection, so it is a strong indicator of biology.
In September 2020, a group of astronomers announced a significant observation of Phosphine in the clouds of our nearest neighbouring planet: Venus.
The amount of Phosphine they found is almost 1000 times greater than any known explanation. Currently, the best suggestion we have for this concentration of phosphine; is alien life.

Bacteria wrapped in S8 or unknown geological process? 🤔

When I saw the phosphine story on the news I had a feeling this might be your next video.
Good call Elderfox 👍

Also, it is interesting the canals discovered on Mars in the 1800s were just an error in the telescope, but 200 years later we have found actual evidence of river beds and lakes on Mars.

5:20 ElderFox was confirmed to be the best YouTube Channel back in 1845! But we already knew that ;)

Venus is our closest planetary neighbor. If Venus does have life them we have been looking too hard.

*Phases out* "Next year, I will buy a Mars easter egg because Elderfox Documentaries is the best channel on YouTube." *Phases back in*

NASA needs to start paying a lot more attention to Venus after this news.

The fact that people still think we are the only life in the universe blows my mind

Of course it's likely some type of life/organisms will be existing in the atmosphere, we can't assume all life needs oxygen to survive, and since we are unique it's possible we are one in a few "flukes" of existence because Earth and our solar system is so rare thus far.

Tardigrades can live within any type of environment or even in the vacuum of space, and such is the mystery of these virtually indestructible lifeforms it widens our perspective for life on other planets .

We need Venutian balloons. Or Venutian blimps, Zeppelins, airships, whatever. Make it so.

I'd bet my last dollar that there is life on Venus. Thankfully, as a Brit, I don't have any.
