  1. It is entirely possible that life is out there (maybe not in the way we think). To think that out of the Trillions of solar systems out there, that we are the only ones that have life is a little naive .

    1. A little naive? 2 trillion galaxies in JUST the observable universe with each on average 500 billion stars, and most stars have planets. YUP. we’re NOT alone.

  2. Why is Venus so hot at the surface, hot enough to melt lead? It’s that hot because of the intense atmospheric pressure caused by the thick atmosphere, 1,334 psi. To get the equivalent atmospheric pressure of Earth you need to be up 50km. That’s the same reason it’s so hot at the bottom of Death Valley, the hottest place on Earth.

  3. Venus used to be as full of life as Earth, until lefties destroyed the same way as they’re trying to destroy Earth now.

  4. Gotta love how only NASA has access to these telescopes to be able to see this stuff. What a joke.

  5. You guys omitted a lot of “coulds” and “mays” from this report. Maybe clouds could contain phosphine. That’s the actual news.
