Potential Signs of Life on Venus Are Fading as Astronomers Downgrade Their Original Claims - Science

A new paper by the same team who announced the preliminary detection of phosphines in the atmosphere of Venus have lowered the estimates of phosphine gas next door. But all is not lost, as Paul Voosen points out the silver lining for this cloudy planet and its potential inhabitants along with explaining why the detection was so strong. Still the data is being assaulted on all sides, and Jane Greaves and company present a stalwart defense of their detection of phosphines with a Re-Analysis Of Phosphine In Venus's Clouds. It seems some of the barbarians at the gate are picking more cherries than Malcolm Gladwell, and Jane reminds them to (again) review the original paper. (CS)
