October’s SPEAKER:
Paul Fellows
Paul will be joining us in the theatre.
“Life in the Clouds of Venus”.
In 2019 a paper was published claiming the presence of large amounts of the gas Phosphine in the mid-levels of the atmosphere of Venus. This was seen as a possible bio-marker, a sign of life. What was the basis of this story and what has happened to the idea since it hit the headlines. Plus the latest news from a Cambridge group with results from JWST.
