Venus May Be More Chemically Hospitable Than Scientists Thought, Recasting Planetary Habitability
A new line of research is challenging the long-held view that Venus is uniformly too hostile for complex chemistry. Scientists now say parts of the planet’s atmosphere may be less chemically prohibitive than assumed, a finding that could reshape how researchers assess habitability beyond Earth. The work does not suggest Venus is livable, but it does reopen a serious scientific debate about where chemistry can persist in extreme environments.
