- Life on Venus. A new study shows that acid-neutralizing life-forms can make habitable pockets in Venus’ clouds. The hypothesis could be tested soon with proposed Venus-bound missions. https://news.mit.edu/2021/habitable-venus-clouds-acid-neutralizing-1220 8 comments science
- Study suggests the presence of ammonia in the Venusian clouds, which could make for habitable conditions. The study's authors identified a chemical pathway by which life could neutralize Venus' acidic environment, creating a self-sustaining, habitable pocket in the clouds. https://www.inverse.com/science/new-evidence-for-possible-life-on-venus 3 comments science
- Present-day Venus is an inhospitable place with surface temperatures approaching 750K & an atmosphere 90 times as thick as Earth's. Billions of years ago the picture may have been very different. NASA climate modeling suggests Venus could have remained habitable until at least 715 million years ago. https://www.nasa.gov/feature/goddard/2016/nasa-climate-modeling-suggests-venus-may-have-been-habitable 12 comments science
- Venus may have been habitable and Earth-like before greenhouse gas took over: « Since Venus could have once been Earthlike, there's no reason Earth couldn't someday become Venus-like. » https://www.popsci.com/earth-venus-carbon-climate-change/ 12 comments space
