I guess you can say Betelgeuses passed gas.

The life they are expecting is perhaps - Rust Monsters!  Flee ye fighters with plate armor!

[Sir Slash]

I feel like a Rust Monster every morning when I try to get out of bed.

Tomorrow,  there will be a big announcement concerning Venus. They (academic researchers) have
discovered the presence of an (atmospheric) chemical there named "Phosphine" which only occurs in
relation to biological processes. There is no known way to make
this naturally, even in a hellhole like  Venus. Basically they have ruled
out everything else, which leaves only life as the main contender in
this scenario. So it is not definitive proof but about as close as
you can get short of that.

There was a leaked press release a few days ago that surfaced on the
reddit UFO forum. Despite that provenance, it seems to be corroborated
by other sources.

This is a snapshot of the premature release before it was deleted.

The press conference starts in about 90 minutes by the Royal Astronomical Society here:

So, tune in if you are interested in this kind of astronomical sleuthing.

Thank you for posting.  As an amateur astronomer I do find this interesting.

However life on Venus ?
