minus-squareHubertManne@moist.catsweat.comlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·22 days agoI mean sulfur is an important component of life and extremeophiles can handle many conditions. When I heard things about possible life at venus it was generally the idea of microorganisms floating in the atmosphere.

minus-squareNuraShiny [any]@hexbear.netlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·21 days agoThis headline says earth-like life. I just didn’t repeat the word.

Fair point there!

Is it? Why?
