>>12495067It's still in the realm of possible, but highly unlikely. Like
>>12495069 the phosphine readings turned out lower (but still higher than they should be). The phosphine is also seemingly concentrated in specific places in the atmosphere which is interesting as it should be spread pretty evenly. Likely it's just some chemical reaction/geologic process we don't understand yet.
But that doesn't rule out microbial life on Venus. I mean hell, we've sent literally dozens of rovers/landers to Mars and we still haven't completely ruled out life there yet either.
