This doesn’t make Earth like life more likely in these clouds, but it does open the possibility of a kind of life based on sulphuric acid instead of water. Whether Venus’s clouds can harbour life has been hotly argued by scientists in recent years, especially after phosphine, a molecule produced predominantly by living organisms, was spotted in
