>>12120112The most hyperacidic bacteria on earth is from the Dallol pools (notably, not where Soviet probes were constructed and launched) and lives in a ~5% solution of sulfuric acid in water.
Venus clouds are sulfuric acid with a little water dissolved, 10 to the 11th times more acidic.
0% chance it’s earth contaminants. This is almost certainly evidence of an aerial biosphere on Venus, and it’s not even that surprising.
This likely solves the “unknown absorber” mystery which eats half of Venus’ received UV, associated with randomly changing dark cloud patterns - it’s photosynthesizing lifeforms.
Venus has microbes, Mars has or had stromatolites and lichen in the past, Enceladus probably has subsurface ocean life, comets might have life, Ceres too.
Get with the times, losers: astrobiology is exploding, panspermia is real, religious dumbfuck cynics BLOWN THE FUCK OUT
