Strange and unexplained forms have been seen on Venus, which, according to some scientists, could be signs of life of another kind, are much more ambiguous than we thought.
Researchers studying the surface of Venus have discovered that strange black spots affect the planet's climate, according to a report published by the British newspaper The Independent.
Scientists discovered more than a century ago dark "spots" on the surface of the planet, claiming that they would change over time. But this has never been explained, some researchers suggesting that this could be proof of life there.
"The particles that make up the brown spots can be ferric chloride, sulfur dioxide, etc.," said Yoon Joo Lee, lead author of the study.
The study shows that the molecules in these blackheads are the same size and behave in the same way as the microorganisms present in the Earth's atmosphere.
In addition to other evidence, this discovery has brought some of the world's most famous scientists, including Carl Sagan, to believe that these mysterious places could be evidence of a strange life there.
Researchers now know more about the impact of these blackheads on the planet's climate.
Scientists have been looking for changes in the albedo of the planet, or the amount of light absorbed by it. They found that it changed dramatically. Between 2006 and 2017, the amount of light reflected back into space was halved and then began to increase again.
Likewise, these changes have had a significant impact on the amount of solar energy absorbed by clouds and, consequently, on the amount of points in the planet's atmosphere.
A strong activity is visible in the atmosphere of the planet, where the clouds flow at a speed higher than 200 km / h. But scientists still do not know the root cause of these dramatic changes.
