A vanusian phosphine scoop, this week on Planetary Radio.

Welcome.

I'm Matt Kaplan of the Planetary Society, with more of the human adventure across our solar

system and beyond.

Cardiff University astronomer Jane Greaves has returned with more evidence for phosphine

gas in the atmosphere of Earth's broiling sister planet.

Jane and I will talk about the implications, including speculative models of how living

organisms could be responsible.

It's a delightful conversation with a delightful guest, and it ends with a challenge for the

more artistically gifted among you.

Equally delightful brew spets will pick up with a look at the current night sky, a random

space fact, and a new space trivia contest, all as part of this week's what's up.

Have you heard last week's stinky comet feature?

My conversation with three University of Byron scientists gets top billion in the August

12 edition of the downlink, the Planetary Society's free, weekly newsletter.

There's more comet commotion in this issue, including a pretty image of Swift Tuttle,

the body that is responsible for the just finished, perseid meteor shower.

The Artemis-1 mission is still headed toward its first launch opportunity on August 29.

I'll be there with my Society colleagues, Chief Advocate Casey Dreyer, and Editorial

Director Ray Paletta.

We're hoping to meet with other Society members, and all of us are hoping to see that giant

space launch system rocket lift off for the first time.
