      Yeah they picked up the same reading on Venus which was later disproved. The headline is also somewhat misleading in that this planet is 9 times larger than earth (not sure what it’s mass is) so it wouldn’t accommodate humans but still it would be incredible to reconfirm results

      Yes.

      Phosphene was thought to be found on Venus which can be produced by life or under conditions of a gas giant. However, the results are disputed.

      Methane has been detected on Mars but results can be explained by non-life processes.
