Whether there is life on the Planet Venus is still a mystery to this day. However, in this new research, it is believed that there is the potential for strange alien life forms on the planet that were not previously known or very different from life on Earth.
The living thing probably produces ammonia in the Venusian clouds. On Planet Earth, ammonia is a waste product of aquatic organisms.
Now, the presence of ammonia in the upper atmosphere of Venus has baffled scientists because it may not have been produced by something previously known.
As quoted by us from the Independent, Tuesday (12/21/2021) Venus itself is a very hot planet so that only in the clouds is the possibility of life in the form of microbes. However, its chemical composition is not like that on Earth or even on Mars.
That's because Mars is somewhat similar to Earth while Venus is unlike any other planet in our Solar System. In this study, researchers from Cardiff Universit, MIT and Cambridge University examined chemical processes in Venus' clouds.
"We know that life can grow in an acidic environment on Earth, but nothing is quite as acidic as the clouds on Venus. But if something produces ammonia in its clouds, it will make it more habitable," said study leader Dr William Bains.
They also put forward the theory that the origin of ammonia was due to biological processes of living things, not due to natural forces such as lightning or volcanic eruptions.
However, the potential for aliens on Venus remains very small. However, it is possible that life there, if it exists, is very different from that known on Earth.
To prove this, it is clear that it is necessary to take samples from the planet Venus itself. But the process is so difficult and expensive that until now, there are no definite plans to do so.
