The battles of the territories are moving into space: last week, a shocking discovery was published according to which evidence of life signs may have been discovered near the planet Noga (Venus), and already now there are those who take ownership of it.
Dmitry Rogozin, chairman of the Russian space corporation Roscosmos, claims that it is a Russian star because Russia is the only country that has managed to land a spacecraft on the neighboring planet.
This is the Soviet space project "Venus 7", in which they successfully landed the first spacecraft on the planet Venus and transmitted signals from there back to Earth.
The spacecraft was launched on August 17, 1970 and entered the atmosphere of Venus on December 15, 1970. In addition, it is the only spacecraft to date that has touched the planet's soil, as according to scientists on its surface prevails tremendous heat and temperature reaches 462 degrees.
At the same time, shortly after the announcement of the shocking discovery, a new official mission for 2021-2030 known as Varna-D was unveiled in Russia, with the aim of launching a probe to study the star, and make observations around it with a stronger and improved radar. Behind this issue, "he said in an interview.
As mentioned, this statement by Rogozin comes right next to the announcement by the director of the US space agency NASA of a significant discovery that clouds in the atmosphere of Venus. The planet's atmosphere is full of sulfur oxide, To Earth, this is because the planet's toxic atmosphere "eats" metals.
But precisely in this hostile and impossible environment, there are signs that life is indeed succeeding, not on the planet's surface, but in its atmosphere, where there are points with favorable heat conditions for the evolution of life.
In a study submitted to the prestigious scientific journal Nature, a team of astronomers claims to have been able to detect phosphine, or hydrogen phosphorus, gas in Noga's atmosphere.
Among researchers, phosphine is considered a gas that is almost directly related to the existence of life, and the researchers believe that this is significant evidence for the possible existence of life on the hot planet.
Although phosphine was also found in the atmosphere of the planet Jupiter, it is estimated that it was caused by huge storms that occur in the atmosphere of the huge planet.
The appearance of phosphine in Noga's atmosphere has no plausible scientific explanation other than the existence of life.
And even if the scientific world begins to take a huge interest in Venus, it will only be able to reach the star again after the Kremlin's approvals.
This is at least what is believed in Russia.
