Episode 682: Life on Venus? A Key Biosignature Called Phosphine has been Discovered in Venus' Atmosphere
b'
Well, did you hear the big news? Life on Venus. Life\\u2026 on... Venus. Now, where have we heard this before? Oh right, life on Mars. If you\\u2019ve been watching any of my videos or listening to Astronomy Cast, you\\u2019re cautiously optimistic. Skeptical, but hopeful.
\\n\\nThat\\u2019s the right position to take, because buckle up, the internet\\u2019s about to run with this news. It\\u2019s going to be difficult to figure out what was really discovered, and what this means for the search for life in the Universe.
