Discovery of the gas necessary for life on the planet Venus

Earth's neighboring planet has long been considered unfit for life, but now traces of a significant gas have been found in its deep clouds that could symbolize life.

This planet is so hot that it is also called a hot house and it is constantly raining acid. In this regard, telescopes in Hawaii and Chile have seen traces of phosphine gas in the deep clouds of Venus, which suggests that there may be strange microscopes. Phosphine gas is either made in the laboratory or is part of some animal and microbiology. Some scientists call it part of animal waste, but other experts disagree.

It should be noted that the molecule of phosphine gas is made up of one and three hydrogen atoms of phosphorus.

"Although this is a very important discovery, it cannot be said to be the ultimate proof of the existence of life on any planet," said a report published in the weekly Nature on Wednesday. Astronomers search for life in and out of our solar system to find chemical elements that are associated with life and are called biosignatures.

Phosphine gas is also found in the floors of some ponds and in the intestines of some animals. "We've considered everything, including volcanic eruptions, lightning and small meteorites, but none of them can produce such a large amount of phosphine," said co-author of the study, Sarah Seiger. It should be noted that there is no water on the planet Venus and the surface temperature is up to 425 degrees Celsius. That is why it is also called the hell of the solar system.

At an altitude of 50 km above the planet Venus, there is a thick layer of clouds of carbon dioxide which may contain water droplets.
