Study nixes life in clouds of Venus, but maybe in Jupiter's?
Fox News
A new study is throwing cold water on the possibility of life in the clouds of Venus.
The team looked into the matter following September’s surprise announcement by others that strange, tiny organisms could be lurking in the thick, sulfuric acid-filled clouds of Venus. Through spacecraft observations, the latest research group found the water level is more than 100 times too low to support Earth-like life. "It's almost at the bottom of the scale and an unbridgeable distance from what life requires to be active," said the lead author, John Hallsworth, a microbiologist at Queen's University Belfast in Northern Ireland.
