Recent discoveries by German and British research teams have found phosphine and ammonia in the clouds of Venus.

Phosphine, a molecule associated with industrial processes or microbial activity on Earth, has intrigued scientists as a potential biosignature for life on Venus.

While caution is urged as these findings do not conclusively prove the presence of extraterrestrial life, the discovery has sparked debates about the possibility of microbial organisms surviving in the Venusian atmosphere around 50 kilometers above the planet's inhospitable surface.

NASA and ESA are planning future missions to Venus in the 2030s to gather more data and potentially uncover more evidence of life beyond Earth.

These discoveries and planned missions have reignited interest in the search for life on Venus.
