The interest in space and the search for extraterrestrial life are part of the formation of humanity. Now, a NASA scientist has confirmed that aliens exist and that it is already possible to know which planet they live on.
According to researcher Michelle Thaller, aliens secretly reside on Venus, a planet that does not have ideal conditions for human life.

Dr. Michelle Thaller is a researcher at the Goddard Space Flight Center in the United States, which is NASA's first laboratory. "We see possible signs of life in the atmosphere of Venus," Thaller told The Sun news portal.
To validate her theory, she justified that the composition of the atmosphere of Venus may indicate the presence of bacterial activity and organisms on the planet.
For humans, the planet Venus has always presented characteristics inappropriate for survival. The atmosphere on this planet is dense and acidic. In addition, it features extreme temperatures, reaching up to 475°C.
Considered the hottest planet in the Solar System, Venus is 107 million kilometers from the Sun. The planet's atmosphere is made up of carbon dioxide and sulfuric acid, which causes a "runaway greenhouse effect".
Even so, the scientist believes that the planet has the structure to harbor alien life. In the same way, some scientists consider that Venus has some Earth-like features, such as size and structure.
"Venus is now a place where we see something in the atmosphere that looks very similar to what could be produced by bacteria," Thaller explained to The Sun.
For her, evidence about the existence of life on other planets will be presented at some point. “I believe it is only a matter of time before we have evidence of what exists in the Solar System”, says Michelle Thaller.
Finally, Dr. Michelle points out, “We don't have absolute proof yet. Do I believe there is life out there? For sure."

After Thaller's interview, other scientists commented on the topic. In an interview with the Daily Mail, professor at University College London, Dominic Papineau, believes that the researcher's hypothesis is very difficult to prove.
According to him, “For chemical reactions related to life to occur, liquid water is necessary. So to find extraterrestrial life we need to find liquid water, and to find fossils extraterrestrials, it is necessary to look for sedimentary rocks that have been associated with liquid water in the past."
Interest in the formation of the Solar System and alien life will definitely continue. encouraging space exploration and scientific research that proves the presence of life in other planets.
