Caldwell 103 by NASA Hubble

For those who don’t know, recently a bunch of phosphine gas was detected in the atmosphere of Venus. What makes this such a big deal is that phosphine is an organic gas. Of course, certain phenomena like lightning or geological processes could make it, but this is a very rare and difficult thing to do. Now, it may be too soon to tell, but this could mean there’s at the very least some sort of microbial life! We’ve spent so much time looking at Mars and its ancient watery history, that we never even considered Venus as a possible environment for extraterrestrial life. This discovery, should it be validated, would completely alter our way of thinking how life looks, even more so than possible life on Mars.

Just a cool thing I wanted to share. 2020 may be an... interesting year, but maybe, just maybe, there could be silver lining to all this chaos.

I don’t know about you guys, but I comprehend the manmade horrors just fine

We are just as much a part of nature and the planet Earth as any other creature. This concept that we can “conquer nature” doesn’t really make any sense, since we are nature too. 

humans are an essential part of the ecosystem. nearly every ecosystem on earth had humans as an essential part of its function. the earth would be worse off than before if we were gone suddenly overnight. send tweet
