Searching for signs of life outside the planet Earth has become one of the motivations in our modern-day space explorations. In the Solar System, the planet Venus is commonly referred to as the twin planet of the Earth because of their size and structure similarities. However, it has also been accepted that this planet cannot host life due to its extremely hot surface temperature. This belief was challenged by an experiment performed by a group of researchers.
A team of experts discovered that the atmospheric conditions in the Venus clouds could potentially support life. The research team comprises biologists, chemists, and planetary scientists from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Harvard University, Nanoplanet Consulting, and the University of Alberta.
