本期《Albert说英闻》我们来学习来自The New York Times的文章节选：

High in the toxic atmosphere of the planet Venus, astronomers on Earth have discovered signs of what might be life.

If the discovery is confirmed by additional telescope observations and future space missions, it could turn the gaze of scientists toward one of the brightest objects in the night sky.

附：NASA局长Jim Bridenstine看到这则新闻推特回应：

Life on Venus? The discovery of phosphine, a byproduct of anaerobic biology, is the most significant development yet in building the case for life off Earth. About 10 years ago NASA discovered microbial life at 120,000ft in Earth’s upper atmosphere. It’s time to prioritize Venus.

金星上的生命吗?厌氧生物的副产品磷化氢的发现，是建立地球外生命的证据中最重要的进展。大约10年前，美国宇航局在地球高层大气的12万英尺处发现了微生物。是时候优先考虑金星了。
