What If | September 11, 2025



Dive deeper and watch our interview with the co-author of the seminal paper in Nature Astronomy, MIT’s Professor Sara Seager: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O5Z6yX8F_oA

Is alien life really out there? Humanity has wondered about it for decades, and according to scientists, this might finally be a reality. Astronomers have discovered there could be life on Venus. Does this mean we’ll finally meet aliens? Could this help us discover other aliens? And what does this discovery mean for us?

    maybe not on mars or venus. but life sure exist out there. in other solar system , there is sure some others forms of life, who get energy from other elements than oxigen . perhaps elements we dont even have on earth .

    I don’t think this guy knows anything about Venus. First of, the atmosphere is toxic af, it’s almost 480°C, the atmospheric pressure would crush you and winds fast af. A rover was once sent to Venus and was obliterated. I think Hell is less harsh than Venus and this guy is taking about it potentially being our new home?
