"Potential for Life in Venus's Acidic Clouds, New Study Suggests"

A recent study suggests that some forms of life could potentially exist in the sulfuric acid clouds of Venus. Researchers found that 19 out of 20 biogenic amino acids remained stable or were chemically modified in ways that could support life when immersed in sulfuric acid at temperatures observed in Venus's cloud layers. This discovery expands the range of possible life-sustaining planets in the universe and challenges the notion that all life forms require water as a medium.
