With temperatures higher than 471 degrees Celsius, most living creatures on Earth would not survive if they go to Venus. The planet is the second closest to Sun, and is known to have superheated sulfuric acid surface and scorching heat.


But according to a Russian scientist named Leonid Ksanfomaliti, life is possible on Venus. He claims to have discovered objects resembling living beings at photographs taken by Russian landing probe Venus-13 in 1982.


Ksanfomaliti of the Space Research Institute of Russia's Academy of Sciences published a research in Solar System Research magazine that analyzed the photographs from the planet's mission.

Russian scientist Ksanfomaliti said he had spotted several objects semmed to move, including a disc. Experts say it's just probably a lens cap.

He said that all of them "emerge, fluctuate and disappear", referring to their changing location on different photographs and traces on the ground.


"What if we forget about the current theories about the non-existence of life on Venus, let's boldly suggest that the objects' morphological features would allow us to say that they are living," the magazine quoted Ksanfomaliti as saying.
