No signs of life on Venus despite strange behaviour of sulphur

The long-held belief that life may exist in 's clouds has been dismissed by a new study, which claims that the unusual behaviour of sulphur in the atmosphere cannot be explained by an 'aerial' form of extra-terrestrials.

Any life form in sufficient abundance is expected to leave chemical fingerprints on a planet's atmosphere as it consumes food and expels waste.

But scientists found no evidence of this, after using a combination of biochemistry and atmospheric chemistry to test the 'life in the clouds' hypothesis.
