A FLEET OF MISSIONS IS SPREADING ACROSS THE SOLAR SYSTEM TO INVESTIGATE OUR NEIGHBOURS FOR SIGNS OF LIFE. HERE’S WHAT THEY ARE LOOKING FOR

WHERE ARE THE ALIENS IN OUR SOLAR SYSTEM?

VENUS

LOCATION: 108 MILLION KILOMETRES FROM THE SUN

PROS: MAY HAVE HARBOURED OCEANS FOR A LONG TIME

CONS: HELLISHLY HOT ON SURFACE, CLOUDS OF CONCENTRATED SULPHURIC ACID

MISSIONS PLANNED: DAVINCI+ (2026 LAUNCH, NOT CONFIRMED)

You’d have to have been living under a rock on a distant planet to have missed the news this September about the unexpected – and as yet unexplained – discovery of the gas phosphine in the atmosphere of Venus. By October, there were some doubts creeping in about whether phosphine had really been detected, but either way there’s definitely some previously unknown chemistry going on in the Venusian atmosphere. Perhaps it could even be biochemistry – is the phosphine be a telltale signature of Venusian life?
