Atomic oxygen is known to exist in the planet's atmosphere, according to theoretical models, and has even been directly detected directly on Venus' nightside; but the dayside detection means we ...

An abundance of gases, including carbon and oxygen, are being stripped away from Venus' atmosphere, according to flyby data ...

On Earth, this gas is only made industrially, or by microbes that thrive in oxygen-free environments. Astronomers have speculated for decades that high clouds on Venus could offer a home for microbes ...

The Earth’s ambipolar electric field is weak but strong enough to control the shape and evolution of the upper atmosphere.

While Venus's surface is now hot enough to melt lead ... it's far more abundantly produced by bacteria in oxygen-starved environments. Scientists therefore refer to it as a "biosignature" gas.

But a recent discovery has turned the tables, revealing the presence of atomic oxygen on both Venus's day and night sides for the first time, adding a breath of intrigue to the overlooked planet.

The European Space Agency's Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer (JUICE) probe has spotted a habitable planet roughly one astronomical ...

or in oxygen-poor environments such as swamps. For sure, you can make it industrially, but there are no factories on Venus; and there are certainly no penguins. So why is this gas there ...

or in oxygen-poor environments such as swamps. It's possible to make the gas industrially, but there are no factories on Venus; so its signal in the planet's clouds demanded an explanation.
