Planetary Radio: Space Exploration, Astronomy and Science

An international team has detected phosphine gas in the clouds above Venus. Naturally-produced phosphine on Earth is created by anaerobic bacteria. Weโ€™ll listen to portions of the media briefing at which this result was announced. Then weโ€™ll get perspective on the find from the Planetary Societyโ€™s Casey Dreier. Astrophysicist and Venus atmosphere expert Javier Peralta will share his reaction and a big find of his own on our nearest planetary neighbor.
