A very exciting discovery of phosphine (PH3) gas in the atmosphere of #Venus is keeping humans on the edge of their seats today. Does this mean there is evidence of life in the universe (other than on Earth)? #CarlSagan talked about it 53 years ago (almost to the day). [1/4]

In 1967
#CarlSagan wrote to@nature " The conditions in the lower clouds of#Venus resemble those on Earth more than any extraterrestrial environment now known." Today, 53 years later, more exciting evidence was found, supporting Sagan's idea. [3/4]pic.twitter.com/4v0ZjrNHit

Today's @NatureAstronomy paper brings us more evidence supporting #CarlSagan: "PH3 (phosphine) could originate from unknown photochemistry or geochemistry, or, by analogy with biological production of PH3 on Earth, from the presence of life."
