Researchers have presented new evidence for the presence of two gases that are closely related to life on Earth in the atmosphere of Venus .
Scientists at a national astronomy meeting in the UK have announced the tentative detection of ammonia, a gas that is primarily the result of biological activity on Earth , in the clouds above the planet's surface.
While phosphine gas can technically be produced by volcanic activity, it's far more abundantly produced by bacteria in oxygen-starved environments.
While the latest findings are far from definitive proof of life on Venus , they're intriguing new data points in our efforts to explore our celestial neighborhood for signs of current or ancient life.
Astronomer Jane Greaves says there is no statistical evidence for phosphine in the atmosphere of Venus .
Greaves and her team have since attempted to back up their discovery by tracking signatures of the gas over time using the James Clerk Maxwell telescope in Hawaii .
But far more research needs to be done before we can conclude that the clouds of Venus can host life.
