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?

Perhaps other species that are not able to abide by earth’s conditions yet cannot be physically categorized the same nor may have the same internal interest as life

The narrative is so incredibly annoying that I would love to send the narrator on a one way trip to Venus.

There was a time when venus had life and also had a moon but something happened and venus became what it is now

When Venus looked like Planet Earth billions of years ago, did it have life like Earth does? Will Venus ever look like Planet Earth again?

Fun fact: Venus used to have life like Earth 4 billion years ago when The Sun was young.

If there is life on Venus, the sentence "life finds a way" will never be so true. ^^

Wait If Those Bacteria are prokaryotes then does that mean there could be a chance for eukaryotes (I know it sounds stupid)

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 .

If Venus has life then hopefully people will be slapped with the fact that we can't automatically assume the Copernican Principle, as useful as it is.

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?

Reality: In Venus there is tiny bacteria and bugs!

Absurd to think life could exist on venus….many other planets or moons could be a choice…but VENUS…never happen…spend your billions elsewhere
