Ok so from what I can understand it blew off approximately a million years ago, and now it’s about 8.8k ly away. But where was it in relation to earth when it exploded?

NuraShiny, 4 miesiące temu w Atmospheric analysis shows Venus never had Earth-like life, scientists say

Well duh. It’s a hell of acid storms and sulfur, how would it have had life?

HubertManne, 4 miesiące temu

I mean sulfur is an important component of life and extremeophiles can handle many conditions. When I heard things about possible life at venus it was generally the idea of microorganisms floating in the atmosphere.

TheWolfOfSouthEnd, 4 miesiące temu

I’m not meaning to sound sarcastic or like I’m taking the piss, but how do we know there are no life forms that like acid storms and sulphur?

NuraShiny, 4 miesiące temu

This headline says earth-like life. I just didn’t repeat the word.

huf, 4 miesiące temu

there’s a bunch of life around the deep sea volcanoes that lives off sulphur and stuff, so technically it’d still be earth-like life :)

NuraShiny, 4 miesiące temu

Fair point there!

acockworkorange, 4 miesiące temu

Even if it doesn’t have now, it’s quite a leap to say it never had.

NuraShiny, 4 miesiące temu

Is it? Why?

acockworkorange, 4 miesiące temu (edited 4 miesiące temu)

Earth was very inhospitable for life for quite some time. In the future, it could become barren again. What’s to say that Venus wasn’t once harboring life? We don’t know anywhere near enough of its geology to even guess that.
