Is there life floating in the clouds of Venus? – BBC News
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 atmosphere they can’t explain.
That gas is phosphine – a molecule made up of one phosphorus atom and three hydrogen atoms.
On Earth, phosphine is associated with life, with microbes living in the guts of animals like penguins, or in oxygen-poor environments such as swamps.
For sure, you can make it industrially, but there are no factories on Venus; and there are certainly no penguins.
So why is this gas there, 50km up from the planet’s surface? Prof Jane Greaves, from Cardiff University, UK and colleagues are asking just this question.

Much of western Europe is under the most extreme red heat alerts – meaning there’s a potential risk to life.
France, Spain and Italy have been hardest hit by the heatwave so far.
But why is it so hot? What can you do to stay safe? And is El Nino to blame?
We answer some of your most asked questions about the heatwave sweeping Europe with our climate and health correspondents.

Tens of thousands of organisations have been caught out by a computer virus called WannaCry. The malicious software locks data away and demands a payment of up to $300 (£230) a time before it will restore scrambled files. In the UK, many hospitals fell victim and some health organisations diverted ambulances and cancelled non-essential services as they sought to contain and clean up the infection. Infections in more than 99 nations are being reported by security firms. It appears that the hardest hit are Russia and Spain.

A year ago, artificial intelligence was being sold as something close to science fiction — a technology that could transform society, cure disease, even reshape the global economy.
Today, the tone is changing. The companies leading the revolution are racing to the stock market — chasing billions in investment — while quietly confronting a much harder reality: AI is expensive, unpredictable, and far from profitable.
At the same time, some of the very people building this technology are warning we may be going too fast — even calling for a global pause.
And beyond Silicon Valley, a different story is emerging: growing public anxiety, political backlash, and the rise of what some are calling anti-AI populism.
So is AI entering its most pivotal moment yet — caught between financial pressure, technological risk, and political resistance?

Spoiler Alert. The answer is very more than likely "No". These are just your typical alien giddy "scientists" who immediately jump to "it must be aliens" whenever they see something slightly unusual. A two minute search on the internet reveals that Phosphine can be produced without needing "life" to create it. 🤦🏽♂️

There is no life on any planet other than Earth, Allah willing.
The Sundering
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.[84:1]
When the heaven is split asunder
[84:2]
And attentive to her Lord in fear,
[84:3]
And when the earth is spread out
[84:4]
And hath cast out all that was in her, and is empty
[84:5]
And attentive to her Lord in fear!
[84:6]
Thou, verily, O man, art working toward thy Lord a work which thou wilt meet (in His presence).
[84:7]
Then whoso is given his account in his right hand
[84:8]
He truly will receive an easy reckoning
[84:9]
And will return unto his folk in joy.
[84:10]
But whoso is given his account behind his back,
[84:11]
He surely will invoke destruction
[84:12]
And be thrown to scorching fire.
[84:13]
He verily lived joyous with his folk,
[84:14]
He verily deemed that he would never return (unto Allah).
[84:15]
Nay, but lo! his Lord is ever looking on him!
[84:16]
Oh, I swear by the afterglow of sunset,
[84:17]
And by the night and all that it enshroudeth,
[84:18]
And by the moon when she is at the full,
[84:19]
That ye shall journey on from plane to plane.
[84:20]
What aileth them, then, that they believe not
[84:21]
And, when the Qur’an is recited unto them, worship not (Allah) ?
[84:22]
Nay, but those who disbelieve will deny;
[84:23]
And Allah knoweth best what they are hiding.
[84:24]
So give them tidings of a painful doom,
[84:25]
Save those who believe and do good works, for theirs is a reward unfailing.

Humanity must awaken to the danger of alien contact. ETs plan to occupy our world through hidden infiltration, deception and lies.
Alien forces are poisoning the well of spirituality. This is a Greater Darkness in the world, something that most people are too afraid to think about. I suggest reading the Alliesof Humanity briefings for more info on ET in this world.

Hydrogen is important to life, fun fact: venus doen't have much. Also phosphine can be produced even by other natural factors. Phosphine and methylphosphine are produced when atmospheric lightning strikes the ground or aerosol which is containing oxidized forms of phosphorus and chemical reductants & venus have lightnings. Basically life on venus is slim to none!!!!!!!

Life on Venus does not need to be small (It most likely is or we would have seen it by now) by there is no reason animals would not work like giant hot air bloons. We see some fish do something like that. But instead it would light air elements in venus

ASTRONOMERS SEE POSSIBLE HINTS OF LIFE IN VENUS 'S CLOUDS.
Posted at 9:23 AM, Sep 14, 2020
Astronomers looking at the atmosphere in neighboring Venus see something that might just be a sign of life.
In a study published Monday, researchers from Cardiff University, MIT and elsewhere say they found the chemical signature of a noxious gas called phosphine.
Two telescopes in Hawaii and Chile spotted in the thick Venutian clouds the chemical signature of phosphine, a noxious gas that on Earth is only associated with life.
Venus’ phosphine was observed in a narrow, temperate band within the planet’s atmospheres, where temperatures range from 30 to 200 degrees Fahrenheit. Scientists have speculated that if life exists on Venus, this layer of the atmosphere, or cloud deck, is likely the only place where it would survive, according to MIT.
“This phosphine signal is perfectly positioned where others have conjectured the area could be habitable,” said the study’s co-author and EAPS Research Scientist Janusz Petkowski.
Astronomers tried to figure out other, non-biological ways it could be produced and came up empty.
“It’s very hard to prove a negative,” said Clara Sousa-Silva, research scientist in MIT’s Department of Earth, Atmospheric and Planetary Sciences (EAPS).
“Now, astronomers will think of all the ways to justify phosphine without life, and I welcome that. Please do, because we are at the end of our possibilities to show abiotic processes that can make phosphine.”
" I thought we'd just be able to to rule out extreme scenario, like
the cloud being stuffed full of organisms.When we got the first hints of phosphine in Venus' spectrum, it was shock!" said
Prof. Jane Greaves of Cardiff University.
Outside experts — and the study authors themselves — say the research is tantalizing but not yet convincing. Waiting for further details

I am very happy for contacting Dr oghenegueked who helped me get my ex husband back from another woman after 3 years of separation. I am very happy because I never believed in spell casting and contacting spell casters to solve my problem but after 3 years of separating from my husband being single, I had to contact Dr oghenegueked after I read about him online and how he has been helping people. I am very glad I did. My husband came back to me within 48 hours, begged me and the kids who needed their father back with them and I am very happy. I found this man through testimonies that he can solve pregnancy and love problems that is why I contacted him to help me and within 48 hours my husband came back home and we are living happily together. His email is oghenegueked@gmail.com or Whats-app number on +2347030263748
