On Venus, searchers are looking for indications of life despite the hostile environment. A recent study has discovered that there is no phosphine on Venus, contrary to what was previously believed. Two years ago, the discovery of phosphine gas created by biological activities on Earth raised the potential of indications of life on Venus. The Sofia Observatory’s observations make this very obvious.
Numerous telescopes spotted the year 2020 after the report. In parallel, the SOFIA observatory investigated Venus’ atmosphere from three flights in November 2021, where it had previously been reported that phosphine had been discovered.
It turned out to have substantially less phosphine than anticipated. According to NASA researchers, it is unclear how it may have developed on Venus. Sophia hasn’t noticed any possibility of this occurring on Venus.
