Hardbopjazz Posted January 22, 2012 Report Posted January 22, 2012 If true, how long before humans go there and mess that planet up too? The Indo-Asian News Service reported Saturday that a Russian scientist has published what he claims is evidence of life on Venus, Earth’s nearest neighbor in the direction of the sun. Leonid Ksanfomaliti, an astronomer based at the Space Research Institute of Russia’s Academy of Sciences, analyzed photographs taken by a Russian landing probe during a 1982 during a mission to explore the heavily acid-clouded planet. Venus is roughly the same size as Earth, but it has a thick atmosphere dominated by carbon dioxide. With an atmospheric pressure 92 times Earth’s, a waterless and volcano-riddled surface and a surface temperature of 894 degrees, the planet has never been considered a serious target of research into the possibility of extraterrestrial life. But in his article, published in the magazine Solar System Research, Ksanfomaliti says the Russian photographs depict objects resembling a “disk,” a “black flap” and a “scorpion.” “What if we forget about the current theories about the non-existence of life on Venus?” he wrote. “Let’s boldly suggest that the objects’ morphological features would allow us to say that they are living.” Article Quote
David Ayers Posted January 22, 2012 Report Posted January 22, 2012 If true, how long before humans go there and mess that planet up too? I think Venus was a paradise until humans messed it up, were forced to leave, and came to what men now call 'Earth'. Other narratives of the origin of human life on earth are also available. Quote

Guy Berger Posted January 22, 2012 Report Posted January 22, 2012 How long until this gets debunked? Quote
Jim Alfredson Posted January 22, 2012 Report Posted January 22, 2012 I'd say it already is debunked. Just because something in a photograph vaguely resembles something recognizable, that means there's life on the planet? By that theory, all those clouds that look like animals are actually ALIVE! Does this guy have any clue how the brain interprets visual data? Quote

David Ayers Posted January 23, 2012 Report Posted January 23, 2012 Didn't Edgar Rice Burroughs write stories about life on Venus? Fiction? Or fact? Spooky. Quote
