Scientists now think there could be microscopic life floating in the clouds of Venus. Their theory is surprising, considering how inhospitable the surface of Venus is. But in the clouds ...

It's not possible for life to exist in the clouds of Venus. It's simply too dry, says an international research team led from Queen's University Belfast, UK. Hopes had been raised last year that ...

Higher in the atmosphere, there are thick clouds of sulfuric acid. Venus's surface has an atmospheric pressure about 92 times that of Earth's at sea level, and its surface temperature is extremely ...

It's an extraordinary possibility - the idea that living organisms are floating in the clouds of Planet Venus. But this is what astronomers are now considering after detecting a gas in the ...

"It could be that if Venus went through a warm, wet phase in the past then as runaway global warming took effect [life] would have evolved to survive in the only niche left to it — the clouds ...

Venus has long been assumed to be uninhabitable: its thick carbon dioxide atmosphere is swirling with yellow clouds of strong sulfuric acid, and its surface is something out of a nightmare ...

The stationary gravity wave, as its called, hovers above the surface in the shape of a flattened "V", rippling through the sulfuric acid clouds of Venus that blow by at a chaotic and constant 220 mph.

An international team of astronomers including UK scientists from Manchester and Cardiff, today announced the discovery of a rare molecule – phosphine – in the clouds of Venus. On Earth, this gas is ...

A study published on Monday in the journal Nature Astronomy found that Venus' clouds contained traces of phosphine: an extremely flammable, poisonous, and corrosive gas also found on Earth.

Planet Venus from NASA, Magellan Program ... since Magellan—will orbit the planet and peer through the obscuring clouds with a powerful radar system. It will create a 3D global map using ...

[Reuters] Scientists said on Monday they have detected in the harshly acidic clouds of Venus a gas called phosphine that indicates microbes may inhabit Earth’s inhospitable neighbour, a ...
