According to the British "Daily Telegraph" report, on September 14, local time, the British official Royal Astronomical Society announced at a press conference that researchers had detected phosphorus in the atmosphere of the planet Venus. Hydrogen molecules, the detection of phosphine simply means that life once existed on Venus. Professor Clara Sousa-Silva, a molecular astrophysicist at MIT, said: "Based on our current understanding of Venus, the most direct explanation for the discovery of phosphine is that Venus has The possibility of life exists. Even if there is life on Venus, it sounds a bit unbelievable, but phosphine is indeed an important basis for biological activities. ?The reason why we pay so much attention to the discovery of phosphine on Venus is because scientists have found that phosphine is a very key "biological signature". Phosphine is a substance left behind after life activities. On our planet, the compound phosphine is only related to human industrial production or the activities of anaerobic microorganisms.

Didier Queloz, winner of the 2019 Nobel Prize in Physics, told China Business News in July this year: "A lot of phosphine remains on the surface of the earth. These substances All can become materials for the study of extraterrestrial life. Venus is the planet closest to the Earth where we live. The structure of Venus is very similar to that of the Earth. The volume of Venus is smaller than that of the Earth. The surface temperature of Venus is second only to the sun in the solar system. The surface temperature of Venus reaches over 471 degrees Celsius. 471 degrees is enough to remove heavy metals. The material melts and does not appear to be suitable for living things to survive. Moreover, the atmosphere of Venus is a thick layer of poisonous gas. The thick gas reduces the conduction of heat on the surface, so this causes the surface of Venus to be very hot.

At present, governments of various countries have not given a clear answer as to whether there is life on Venus. But what is certain is that the discovery of phosphine on Venus was no accident. I believe that our scientific research institutions will give us the answer soon.
