People have speculated about life in the Venusian clouds for decades. We are here to find signs of life on Venus or even life itself!

Life, as we understand it, hinges on genetic polymers capable of encoding biological complexity. By demonstrating that PNA—a structural cousin of DNA—can endure conditions long thought to be hostile to complex organic #Chemistry . https://t.co/BMSNaL6HNs

Are Venus’ cloud layers too dry for life?
Scientists have speculated about life in the #Venus clouds for over half a century. In theory the conditions for #life are met: an energy source, the right temperature for molecules, and a liquid #environment. https://t.co/adtUv6mFcx

Did Venus ever have oceans?
The thinking is that at some point #Venus underwent a “runaway greenhouse” where the surface became so hot the oceans boiled off...find out more here. https://t.co/bB2OSiZedT Image Credit:NASA

The recovery of the tentative phosphine signal in the recalibrated ALMA data.

The Venus Phosphine team reanalyzed the data in search for the phosphine signal in the newly recalibrated ALMA data, find out more here. https://t.co/8S8vavHc5i

ALMA recalibrated Venus data
Today the ALMA Observatory will release the recalibrated data and the phosphine team is now reanalyzing the data to search for the phosphine signal. Stay tuned!

Carl Sagan's theory about life on Venus "was prescient, and still makes sense today: between the hellish surface conditions on present-day Venus and the near-vacuum of outer space must be a temperate region where life could live on." https://t.co/pJmYjmCDzX
