I also thought it fairest to describe the Nature Astronomy paper using its exact tile, gave the formula of phosphine, and added the astrobiology tag. Hope that's OK. | |

Tightened the question up, improving the wording and presentation. Added a very relevant tag.

A lot more evidence will be coming in soon, for the moment it's a bit murky. | |

But the problem would seem to be that the conditions in which phosphine appears to be produced biologically on Earth, are very different from those in Venetian clouds. | |
