A Russian scientist claims to have spotted
signs of life in the most unlikely spot in the universe: Venus, the
arid, scorching second-closest planet to the sun.
Venus is widely considered to be lifeless
and barren, thanks in part to superheated clouds of sulfuric acid that
cover the planet. NASA’s Solar System Exploration
site says the scorched world has temperatures higher than 880 degrees
Fahrenheit (471 degrees Celsius) -- that's hot enough to melt lead.
Indeed, probes that have landed on Venus survived only a few hours
before being destroyed by the incredible temperatures, NASA notes.
