4 April 2018 - Life on Venus?
After decades of searching for signs of
life in the stars, the very thing we've been looking for may have been on our
galactic doorstep all along. A recent article in the Astrobiology journal
suggests there may be life in the clouds of Venus. An international team of
scientists, including researchers from the University of Wisconsin-Madison,
have used evidence from new Venus footage to make these speculations. While
Venus’ atmosphere has everything micro-organisms would need to survive, the

aircraft to comb the skies of Venus.
